update the front page of website

[yymao]

As discussed in #160, the current front page is very outdated. Before we come up with a more permanent solution, we should put something more informative on the front page. This PR makes a quick update to the front page.

This is definitely a better placeholder than the current version! I like the links to specific protoDC2/cosmoDC2 versions and the indication of the corresponding image simulation versions. Thanks, @yymao - I think that people who are looking at the extragalactic catalogs or image sims and want to see the validation tests for those catalogs will find this a more useful landing page.

Thanks Yao! May you could put a link somewhere to the definitions of the catalogs (the confluence page) -- e.g. there are no DESCQA results for the whole cosmoDC2 catalogs, just for e.g. "small". (small is not very descriptive, so if there is the link that people can then look up to understand what it means that will be helpful). Thanks!

@rmandelb @katrinheitmann thanks for the feedback. I've added some links for reference per @katrinheitmann's suggestion. Can you take a look to see if that's good? Thank you!

@yymao @katrinheitmann @rmandelb The "official" CS page describing the catalogs is here ( https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/LSSTDESC/ProtoDC2+and+CosmoDC2+Information )
and I think it would be useful to link that page. BTW, the "small" area catalogs are 17 healpixels, not 16, as stated here (https://github.com/LSSTDESC/gcr-catalogs#available-catalogs)

Hi Eve, So there are two confluence pages: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/LSSTDESC/Extragalactic+Catalog+Development+for+DC2 and https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/LSSTDESC/ProtoDC2+and+CosmoDC2+Information The first one actually has more information on proto-dc2 (which is important for people who are looking at Run 1.2p/i still). Would it be better to have just one page? E.g. the first one is now outdated but the second one not fully complete. Thanks!

Yes it's true there is some overlap. The "ExtraGalactic-Catalog" page is older, but has some additional information (including Buzzard) and a lot more information about accessing the catalog and contributing to DESCQA. I don't want to clutter the summary page (protoDC2 and cosmoDC2 information) with all the information in the EGC page. Let me think about how to break things up. Maybe the EGC page could be broken into a couple of child pages...

[yymao]

I think we should consolidate the confluence pages on extragalactic catalogs and link the consolidated page from the data product overview page.

In the meantime, should we try to merge this PR first so that the DESCQA website can be updated?

Also, @evevkovacs, can you open a PR in gcr-catalogs to fix the typo in the README? Thanks!

[rmandelb]

@yymao - the links you added look like good additions to me.

[yymao]

Thanks @rmandelb.

The PR hasn't gotten a new approval since the last update yet. @katrinheitmann @rmandelb Let me know if you want to hold off of merging this, or if not, can one of you approve the PR? Thank you!

[katrinheitmann]

Looks good! Thanks!
