I ran the current set of docs through pandoc and spit out asciidoc
versions.  I didn't want to make this an official PR at this point but a
place to look at the results.

g...@github.com:nzwulfin/atomic-site.git  Check out the adoc branch.

The only things that you need to know:
* authoring an AsciiDoc document that Middleman (and Jekyll for that
matter) still wants a YAML front matter block to recognize it as a doc /
post.  The blocks here are blank, but could include title: like before.  It
doesn't seem to matter to basic operations.
* the current rendering for AsciiDoc isn't particularly pretty.  The Table
at the top of the Getting Started Guide, for example, looks like tab
delimited text.  Section headings also get pretty small quickly.  So we'd
need to explore rendering.

Otherwise, that branch is a functional starting point.  Folks more familiar
with how we're using Middleman can probably chime in on the use of vars
defined in the front matter block and if those need to be added back in.

Cheers,
