#18 #5 - Created release page for alpha-1

Pull request for #18 & #5 
Yes this should be seen for the next release. 

I was thinking that we could copy this and create a new release page for each release.  This release page is kind of "getting started" for the 1.0.0-alpha release.  It should remain and we should create a new one for the beta release.  We can also move some of this documentation in to the source code over time.
