Media PR now open and other announcements

[Patrick Magee]

Hello Everyone,

New PR:

We have a new PR open for voting. This one is a bit different from the previous PR's, as it has nothing to do with the specification, but is a minor improvement to WDL's branding. The PR is made to our new media repo.

Add Logo Files: https://github.com/openwdl/media/pull/1

Our Website Has a New Home

We are in the process of migrating our community website (openwdl.org) to git pages. I have made the initial commit and have ported the old code from where it used to exist to the new git pages repo: https://github.com/openwdl/openwdl.github.io. The "new" version of the website can currently be viewed by visiting https://openwdl.github.io

Now that the website is open sourced and accessible by the community, it is our intention for it to grow and change with relevant content which reflects the needs of the WDL community. If you would like to make changes to the website, or would like to suggest some edits, please check out the repo!

Community Forum Discussion

As many of you may know, the WDL community really does not have any one single community forum where users and creators of WDL can answer non SPEC related questions.  There is currently a discussion going on in an effort to try and figure out where the best place for the community forum would be. If you have some suggestions, or would like to weigh in on the discussion please check out: https://github.com/openwdl/wdl/issues/352

Thanks Patrick for spreading the word! I just updated the openwdl.org settings to forward to the new address, so simply using the "old" URL should take everyone there -- no need to update your bookmarks. If anyone has any trouble accessing it, please let me and Patrick know.
