[Meta] Site changes for Dart 2

[chalin]

We're using the 2-beta2 milestone to track the most urgent Dart 2 issues, but here's a summary of the pages on the site and what might need to change. (Less urgent changes are under the 2-beta3 milestone.)

Note: The 2-dev version of the website is staged at https://dartlang-org-dev.firebaseapp.com. The current (1.x) version of the website will live on (and is hand-staged) at https://v1-dartlang-org.firebaseapp.com.

  • Sample Code - Update Sample Code page #655 @kwalrath (dropped the cookbook in Update samples page, remove cookbook #687, should maybe change samples, but that could wait for beta3)
  • "Strong Mode Dart" pages all need updates to change "strong mode" back to "sound Dart" (see this diff), reflect the latest tool status, fix known issues - @kwalrath (PR: No more "strong mode" #694)

  • https://www.dartlang.org/guides/language/spec - OK as is?
• Libraries
  • Overview - OK as is.
  • Commonly Used Dart Libraries - Review Commonly Used Dart Libraries #656 (needs review, especially of 3rd party package list)
  • Create Library Packages - OK as is.
  • Tour - Update library tour for Dart 2 changes #506 (is tested, but maybe additional changes will be needed)

  • Install and subpages - Move/copy webdev installation instructions to site-webdev #657 (can keep as is, for now, but soon we want separate SDK vs. web install flows, even if that means duplicated content) (PR: Refactor Install page before moving a copy to webdev #727) @chalin
  • Codelabs - OK as is, but the actual codelabs (which are all on other sites) should be updated.
  • Tutorials - Review all tutorials for Dart 2 #664 (review all tutorials; review index page just before milestone)

  • Synonyms - Remove synonyms #260. Plan is to remove this, but we'd be happy for someone else to take this over.

@chalin can I suggest we move the items related to updating the icon to a separate bug?

[kwalrath]

@JekCharlsonYu is in charge of what's in this [meta] issue. (It all shows up as @chalin because he opened the original issue.)

@mit-mit We were just trying to make sure that we have a place that shows up all related changes that we have with regard to the website - be it content or the actual website/logo changes. We are using this meta issue to track all the changes for dart2 properties.

I think this is better to see a more comprehensive lists and at any rate, each item has their own related issues anyway.
