Update site look and add pages for Streaming and MLlib
This monster commit does a variety of things: - Update the site look and feel to be cleaner - Add top-level points to front page - Add a listing of related projects, and pages for those included in Spark - Reorganize docs and community pages - Make sure the site scales properly on mobile devices - Add tabs to let users view the examples in any programming language It's just a start, but should be a step towards a better web presence.

+<h3>Project History</h3>
+
+
+<p>
+Spark started as a research project at the <a href="https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu">UC Berkeley AMPLab</a>
+in 2009, and was open sourced in early 2010.
+Many of the ideas behind the system are presented in various
+<a href="{{site.url}}research.html">research papers</a>.
+The AMPLab continues to perform research on both improving Spark and on systems built on top, such as
+<a href="{{site.shark_url}}">Shark</a>, <a href="{{site.graphx_url}}">GraphX</a>, and
+<a href="{{site.url}}streaming/">Spark Streaming</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After being released, Spark grew a developer community on GitHub and entered Apache in 2013
+as its permanent home.
+A wide range of contributors now develop the project (over 120 developers from 25 companies).
