Blog post for beta announcement

[dhmlau]

In discussion with @ritch , we probably need one or more blog posts on LB Next Core beta as marketing purpose.

@Setogit, since you're planning with the dev evangelist team on a series of blog posts, I'm thinking that it might be helpful to use this ticket to capture the list of topics to be covered (+purpose of the posts) after discussing with @raymondfeng @ritch and @emckean. Then we can work out who can write the posts.

Let's write a single high-level announcement blog post only, and refer to wikis/tutorials on GitHub instead of writing a series of blog posts (that will eventually get outdated).

(EDITED) After going through @raymondfeng's Crafting-LoopBack-Next wiki page and some of the referred links, I do agree with @bajtos on a single high-level announcement blog post, something like the announcing LBNext blog post (https://strongloop.com/strongblog/announcing-loopback-next/).

By extracting/summarizing some of the contents that @raymondfeng had in Crafting-LoopBack-Next wiki page, the announcing LBNext beta blog post could possibly include the following topics:

• What's new in LB Next beta and objectives
• Why you want to upgrade (for existing LB developers) or try out (for new comers) LB Next? can wait till GA
• has references to:
  • Crafting-LoopBack-Next wiki page
  • hello world tutorial (issue hello-world tutorial README #499). Content in here? https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next-hello-world
  • Call for Extensions github issue Extensions! #509
  • Join the LB Next distribution list Welcoming Contributors #110

@bajtos @raymondfeng , any thoughts?

@dhmlau your proposal sounds good to me 👍
