Hello

Made some of these suggested edits/simplifications to the current site.
New tagline

"Apache NiFi is an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process
and distribute data."

Also removed the jumbotron block as it was causing some really strange text
sizing issues.

Jenn - does this seem more like what you were thinking?

Thanks
Joe
