[Grok-dev] Simplifying the documentation page

[Peter Bengtsson]

I don't mind there being plenty of things on the page.
What I do mind strongly is the excess that just adds noise.
For example:

   The Grok Developer's Notes
   --------------------------------------------
   Learn more about the framework internals and APIs with the _Grok
Developer's Notes_.

Could be replaced by:

   _The Grok Developer's Notes_


Or another alternative, replace:

    The Grok Tutorial
    ---------------------------
    Brand new to Grok? The Grok Tutorial is place to start learning about Grok.

With this::

    _The Grok Tutorial_   - the place to start learning how to Grok


Basically, all the excessive headlines don't add any value. Like, do
you really need to add an explanation after the big headline "Search
the documenation"??
In fact, just a long input box followed by a button that says "Search
the documenation" would be equally, if not better, user friendly and
just much much less noise.
