Homepage revamp

[ekzhu]

Currently the homepage is too low information. We should remove the figures which do not carry much information. What we need to add:

1. A short description and elevator pitch for AutoGen - must use simple plain English.
2. Links to:

• Quick Start
• Tutorial
• Topics
• Roadmaps
• Contributor Guide and list of help wanted and good first issues.
• Discord, Twitter, Paper

3. Projects and companies that use AutoGen.

@JingyaChen @suffsyed this is related to #2070

[ekzhu]

I have added to the roadmap issue #2070. I think we can start with the content first.

@ekzhu Thanks for bringing this up! We had some ideas on redesigning the homepage and improve the information architecture as well, and here is the work in progress design file link for your reference: [https://www.figma.com/file/YT4NfbwNbWhF8SUYA2Krlf/MLP-Concept?type=design&node-id=2-770&mode=design]
I could adapt your content suggestion into the next version of iteration and we could sync on this if you like.
Here is a redesigned homepage IA for your reference:

@nitya FYI, please feel free to comment on this arch as I know you have thought about this

Hope to write up more detailed feedback later but my observation is that the navigation bar is critical real estate so the top-level label should ideally reflect a verb or core need

• Home => Landing Page
  --- At left: developer journey from "new" to "learn/skill" to "with others"
• Quickstart => Core Concepts, Starter Template
• Documentation => Docs, API, FAQ
• Training => Tutorials, Notebooks, Examples
• Community => Gallery, Ecosystem, Events
  --- At right replace labels with recognizable icons for actions
• Blog / RSS icon
• GitHub / GitHub icon
• Discord / Discord icon
• Search / Search bar

The Landing Page itself should be utilized to driven

• Central Call to Action (e.g., Join Discord)
• Entry point for user by Role (For Developers, For Researchers, For Learners)
  where the pages can take them to the tutorial / notebooks / courses

The Autogen banner is duplicating value (Blog) - instead use it for announcing time-relevant things (e.g., Next office hours) or CTA for each month (e.g., like the repo? Star us on GitHub)
