[Coco] New CoCo site for programmers

[Jason Law]

Ultimately there is no prerequisite to contribute to the content on the main
site.

If a project group wants a forum of their own etc, I'm happy to add one for
them.

I think it could work very well as a community forum for those looking for a
place to group together ideas.

I've changed the access rights for guests to read all so you can see the
layout.

There's no content there yet as I'm looking for interest before I continue
with it.

I should also add that you don't need to be willing to add anything right
away.

It's designed to build itself by those who contribute content, and the main
site is only updated when the content is generated, and I can get to it :)

The focus is the forums as a fun & relaxed place for those programmers
wanting to share and learn.

There will be no heirachy of moderaters etc, and I'll only login as admin to
move stuff around or add things etc.

I understand many programmers would rather go it alone, but for those who do
wish to share what they've learned with the rest of the CoCo community, the
opportunity now exists to have it easily available to all.

You don't need to be a master programmer, just have a love for programming
the CoCo.

If five or more people show interest, in that they would like to contribute,
then I'll continue to build it :)

You might want to include the Toolshed
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/toolshed/) on your list of CoCo
programming tools.
These excellent tools changed *everything* for me, and are what got me
really excited about developing for the CoCo, but I overlooked them
somehow for far too long.
