Promote resource.openra.net

[xan2622]

I think the upcoming content site : http://resource.openra.net will need some promotion.

It could be interesting (to promote it when it will be finished), to add a new paragraph in http://openra.res0l.net/community/ about this new content site (with a short description of what the site is, why uploading maps there, etc..).

It's a bit sad to notice that even http://content.open-ra.org/ doesn't currently appear anywhere on http://openra.res0l.net/ . I think http://openra.res0l.net/community/ would be a good place to add a paragraph about it.

as about mapping, some promotion will be required if OpenRA/OpenRA#4733 merged

The security/performance evaluation of the old http://content.open-ra.org/ turned out to be problematic. That is the only reason why we did not want to expose it to a greater public. For the next release we will definitely use and promote the rewrite.

I already redirect people there since OpenRA/OpenRA-Resources#141 as it is the only convenient way to import legacy map at the moment.

#113 now mentions it on the front page.

We can add advertise the resource site in a "Getting Creative" block on http://openra.res0l.net/community/. The icon can be a stylized blueprint (kind of like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Xcode_icon.png but flat to fit in with the rest of the website theme).

Tried it:

The problem is that it is hard to recognize in small sizes.

Featured it in #127.

Added it to the footer at https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki#development-topics

See #161 to finally resolve this.
