ECF Website Needed Improvements

• The ECF Website needs to be updated

1. To be made consistent with the Phoenix project look and feel (ECF bug)
2. To introduce improved documentation and navigation
3. To introduce additional capabilities: For example, the ability for ECF-based projects to be uploaded/made available via ECF web pages (ala EMF's 'EMF Corner'). Or for results of automated build to be made available.
4. To improve 'Howto' Documentation in general and specifically for running test suite (ECF bug)
