Getting Started could ramp up slowly with more narrative

[johana-star]

I was reading over the getting started guide last night and was surprised when the guide jumped from routes to using a plugin for logging. I am completely new to Hapi, and I expected there to be some progression like (strikethrough indicates we have content for this):

• hello world
• displaying a static page
• displaying a dynamic page (based on route)
• implementing app reloading in development
• adding a persistence layer
• displaying a dynamic page (based on persistence)
• adding logging
• other plugins

Would the Hapi team be amenable to this sort of documentation improvement? I'd be glad to write documentation to ensure that new-comers can more easily dive in.

I suspect folks would be most welcome to any ideas here on improvement. Maybe do a PR with a brief outline for feedback?

I suspect this will be several PRs, so I'll see if I can write a section about displaying a static page in the next day or two.

That sounds like a perfect approach :)

@hueniverse, thanks for closing. Obviously, this fell off my plate.
