Summary:
Similar to the Hero image functionality. If a video URL is present in the post metadata, it will be displayed instead of a Hero image. This will be useful when highlighting videos in blog posts.
Renamed ReadMoreLink into a more generic ExceptLink which will display "Watch video" when the blog post category is "videos".
Currently there is no way of listing blog posts by categories, but it may be useful to do so later once we have a larger catalog of content.

Summary:
This fixes an issue that would have arised once our number of blog posts passed 10, as the prev/next links in the footer were using the wrong path ("jest/", instead of "react-native/").
I also capped the number of recent blog posts to 10 in the sidebar.

Summary:
Several blog and sharing improvements are included in this update.
* A larger default preview image is used when a blog post or doc is shared on social media as recommended by [best practices](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#images).
* Follow other Facebook Sharing best practices such as associating the site with a Facebook Page (React) and a Page Admin (121800083 is my fbid, and I am an admin for the React page).
* If the shared blog post contains a hero image, use it as a share preview image.
* Use actual doc content instead of generic site description when sharing docs.
* Update existing hero images to use the larger recommended size.
* Add titles to each author's byline.
* Add author's avatar to their byline.
* Add Twitter Card support.
* Link to individual blog posts from the title and hero image in the blog index.

Summary:
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
The Android permissions native module was open sourced recently (b7352b4667) but it is currently undocumented and requires directly interfacing with the native module.
This provides a JS wrapper to make it easier to use the permissions module and documents it.
This could be cleaner if the native code used Promise blocks instead of callbacks, but I didn't want to change the native code without a thumbs up since I'm guessing this is used in one of facebook's apps. Happy to do that if it makes sense
I also tried to make the `PERMISSIONS` object a class property - it works in the actual code but not in the documentation (think it's a jsdocs problem), so decided to initialize in the constructor.
**Test plan (required)**
If the API looks good, I will change the UIExplorer example to use this.

Summary:
We've been getting a lot of documentation PRs opened against `0.29-stable`, `0.30-stable`, and so on, instead of `master`. This is because our doc site is also based on RN release cuts, so clicking on the "Edit on GitHub" links on a document will take you to the markdown source for that release branch instead of the latest doc on `master`.
See #9095 for an example of such a PR.
In this PR we edit the link to say View on GitHub. Though it may not prevent PRs from being opened against a release branch, removing the "Edit" CTA may help in this regard.

Two things in particular. It isn't very useful to link to some generic page on the company's own website, especially if the company has zero news coverage. Secondly, this content should be in English because that's what most readers know.
So I just updated the instructions to say this.

Summary:
We had rendering support for prev links, but we never had any previous links in our metadata. Only next links. This adds that support to both Guides and APIs.
**For guides**: `previous` is manually inserted into the metadata of the actual markdown file.
**For APIs/Components**: `previous` is established via code within `extractDocs.js`
> This isn't totally perfect. For example, the transition from the last guide to the first API/component has a next link from the guide, but not a previous link from the API since the way you get the previous links are different from guides and APIs. But this gets us really close.

Hi there,
I showed this app to a couple of FB people at the React Europe conf in June (ndfred tadeuzagallo ericvicenti astreet and others), they suggested I should submit it to be part of the showcased apps.
It's used in production since the beginning of the year and fully usable at all NASCAR events.
The external accessory receives the digital TV signal broadcasted around the track by an antenna on a FanVision truck.
People rent the accessory there at our kiosks. It also recharges your smartphone battery.
I linked to a demo video so people can actually see what it does without having the required accessory.
The app is of course powered by React Native. I've built custom modules to integrate the native code that does all the heavy work (talking to the accessory, demuxing the raw data, decoding the audio and video, processing the additional data for all stats, etc).
Let me know what you think.

Right now systrace generates an html file that is using the Object.observe function which is now deprecated in most up to date browsers.
Since we don't want to depend on the systrace being up to date, we should advise opening the trace through the Tracing tool, since that is the only way to get it working until systrace removes its dependency on Object.observe.

We did a survey prior to the doc lockdown to get an idea of what we should focus on. Now we have a yes/no style survey to ensure that we met the user needs when it came to our start of improving the docs.

> **NOTE**: The content via the links in this survey will not be valid until 0.29 is actually released. So I have not enabled the questions for the survey until then.

Summary:
This PR adds the interactive [React Native Web Player](http://dabbott.github.io/react-native-web-player/) to the docs. The web player is an embeddable iframe which runs React Native code using components from [react-native-web](https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web). For now, it's primarily for educational purposes, since only the basic components are implemented.
Some details:
- The iframe is loaded from MaxCDN using rawgit, locked down to a git tag.
- Asset paths (i.e. images) are resolved relative to `//facebook.github.io/react-native/`
- When viewed on mobile, it falls back to the syntax-highlighted code blocks.
The WebPlayer can be inserted into markdown by using the fences:
