Reference the piles of wiki documentation on the website #353

At the moment, the website doesn't appear to have any links to the wiki. As someone who discovered Tower through Google and came across the website first, I had some trouble figuring out what the hell I was doing. Especially with a few of the changes that have come about.

I know you're going through some big documentation changes but could you put something on the website alerting people to the stuff on the wiki in the meantime?

Yeah this has been discussed many times. There are currently plans for a complete overhaul of the website butt i think the priorities right now are feature set, new api and especially all the new client side stuff that @viatropos has been working on. I'll take some time this week to maybe get a proper web design and documentation going.

@TheHydroImpulse I'm not talking about the overhaul or anything like that. I'm saying go and put, on the website you have now, on the index or header something like 

<a href="wiki URL"><h1 style="font-color:#FF0000;">Wiki has more info, go here.</h1></a>.

Leave everything else the way it is, just leave a notice until you do the overhaul.

Oh yeah. But I'm also thinking a good solid website would help new comers a ton instead of using github wikis. On Nov 19, 2012 7:18 AM, "bobobo1618" notifications@github.com wrote:

@TheHydroImpulse I agree but as you said, that issue has been discussed many times :P

This is a separate issue.

The websites source is on github. I'll submit a PR when I get to it.

Though once the new APIs come out, we'll really need a proper website with examples, screen casts, demos, etc... But for now, a little notice should be enough. On Nov 19, 2012 7:34 AM, "bobobo1618" notifications@github.com wrote:
