Ubuntu HTML5 developer documentation phase 2

Registered by David Planella

A blueprint to define our plan for the HTML5 documentation to have in place for developer.ubuntu.com when the Webapps team lands their work

As a *bare minimum* we've agreed to provide:

 * A simple, slim tutorial that provides details for how to get the SDK, create a new app from the template, make a cordova call, and make a platform API call
 * A comprehensive set of questions in the cookbook that are up to date.
 * API docs for cordova, platform API, and Ubuntu components.

This is the *bare minimum*. This plan is designed to get someone running an app within 30mins of hitting d.u.c, hence a simple and direct tutorial.

In addition to this we agreed to the following:

 * HTML5 primer.
 * A more detailed cordova tutorial.
 * A more detailed platform API tutorial.

Each of these will be linked from the simple tutorial.
