Hi everyone,

For sometime I have been thinking about cleaning up the Git Developer Pages web site (https://git.github.io/), and making some of the documentation there more generic and possibly more useful for all kind of newcomers.

So I pushed the following commits:
* 17b7b3e SoC: remove 2017 SoC material from the navbar
* 4e01d0a SoC: remove 2018 SoC material from the navbar
* 7c13096 Outreachy: fix titles

Old GSoC and Outreachy material can now only be accessed through the Historical Summer of Code Materials (https://git.github.io/SoC-Historical/) link.

* 9f46f72 Outreachy: rename Outreachy-2016-May to Outreachy-12

An old Outreachy related file now has a similar name as other Outreachy related files.

* 717ec3c Add General-Microproject-Information.md

Extract information from https://git.github.io/SoC-2019-Microprojects/ to make it independent of GSoC or Outreachy. I think it's really better to have a separate document and just link to it, instead of copy pasting it each time.

* 5f6b197 General-Microproject-Information: newbie related improvements

As the document can be useful to newcomers, tell a bit about that in the document.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Christian.

Thanks for taking care of this. I agree these pages have been in need of some cleanup for ages.

I almost wonder if they could be dropped entirely, as they'd still be accessible via the Git repository. But maybe somebody finds it useful to be able to see them from the built web page.

Yeah, this is much better.
