[post] Add out-of-date note + "site update" news
It's slowly but surely happening. Hopefully the disclaimer should reduce confusion, and having a "we're now actually working on it" is hopefully reassuring.

As has been pointed out on the Discord, on Mastodon, and GitHub, the Idris
10+
website is severely out of date. Getting it to a more easily maintainable point
11+
has been on the todo-list for a while now, but there has been many complications
12+
and other priorities, especially since nobody was paid full-time to sort any of
13+
it out. Until now.
14+
15+
I'm not promising it'll be done tomorrow or anything like that, but I *am*
16+
working on it. For now, there's a banner on the front and download pages of the
17+
site at least acknowledging things are old and pointing people to more
18+
up-to-date resources; I'm hoping that'll mitigate some of the continuous
19+
confusion.
20+
21+
I hope that knowing there is a plan is reassuring. I can't give an exact
22+
timeline, but expect improvements to come in the next couple of months. (For
23+
starters, the GitHub Pages workflow is no longer bitrotted and the site actually
24+
builds again; it's been *a while* since any of us looked at this...)
