Consider using GitHub pages for DataFusion/Ballista documentation about datafusion HOT 8 CLOSED

I was toying with the idea of an mdbook-style user guide for DataFusion recently - a unified setup for DF and Ballista would be excellent :)

I created a new issue [1] and corresponding PR to create a unified mdbook setup for the user guide for DataFusion and Ballista.

I did this as a separate issue because writing the user guide is a separate concern from how and where we will publish it at release time.

We should also have the ability to publish release notes and general blog posts on GitHub pages.

I started looking into this. I propose that we create a gh-pages branch that will host the website (jekyll-based site with blog). As part of the release process, we can publish the mdbook content here.

I've written up a proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oIb4QJMzFmA0bqaP42YQWgmnPiHqOTYzwmukANV5O-U/edit?usp=sharing

I am closing this based on the feedback in the discussion at https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r0ed76cc60cdf651e8cf5c82a21cc64114c1f6d174dc5487434bd32ef%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E

@andygrove so the new plan is to host the datafusion website under arrow.apache.org/datafusion right? Are you actively working on this?
