[FM Discuss] new front page for FM

[mick]

Hi Anna,

The process for publishing to this front page is quite low tech.

You can either do a git pull request if you are up for that and add your
details to this file.
https://gitlab.com/mickfuzz/fm_en_splash/blob/master/data/book_details.json

Or just email the following details and image to me.
Image size is 600x312 and there's an inkscape template here -

Just replace with the appropriate text and links.

As you can see this makes the process a bit messier but a lot more
decentralised and flexible.
