[PR] Refresh the Apache Polaris homepage [polaris]

flyrain opened a new pull request, #5279:
URL: https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/5279

   ## Summary
   
   - replace the existing homepage composition with a focused Apache Polaris hero
   - reuse a text-free Polaris background and the official brandmark
   - add clear getting-started, documentation, GitHub, and community paths
   - keep the layout responsive down to narrow mobile viewports
   - align the page description with the new “data and AI assets” tagline
   
   ## Why
   
   The existing front page combines an oversized welcome message with a separate image that repeats the product identity. This change creates a clearer first impression, improves navigation to the most important resources, and presents the project consistently across desktop and mobile sizes.
   
   ## User impact
   
   Visitors get a more legible, responsive landing page with direct paths to getting started, documentation, GitHub, Slack, pull requests, and the developer mailing list.
   
   ## Validation
   
   - `site/bin/create-static-site.sh`
   - `./gradlew format compileAll`
   - `git diff --check`
   - verified the generated site contains the optimized hero background and brandmark
   
   ## AI-assisted development
   
   This change was prepared with AI assistance and iteratively reviewed by the pull request author.
   
   ## Checklist
   
   - [x] 🛡️ Don't disclose security issues! (contact security@apache.org)
   - [x] 🔗 Clearly explained why the changes are needed, or linked related issues
   - [x] 🧪 Added/updated tests with good coverage, or manually tested (and explained how)
   - [x] 💡 Added comments for complex logic — no complex logic was introduced
   - [x] 🧾 Updated `CHANGELOG.md` — not needed for a website-only presentation change
   - [x] 📚 Updated documentation in `site/content/in-dev/unreleased` — not needed for this homepage-only change

Review Comment:
   The old image has words embedded. We could NOT use it. 
   
   > I'm not sure the "What is..." message is necessary. Why not simply describe what Polaris is without a question?
   
   I'm OK with either way. I can remove it if you feel strongly about it.

Review Comment:
   Why do we need a new image for this? The old site also has a similar image 🤔

Review Comment:
   `aria-label` on a plain `div` often won’t create a reliable accessible name because the element has no semantic role. Give this container an explicit navigation/group role so assistive tech can identify it.

Review Comment:
   `.polaris-landing-community__link` is added but not used anywhere in the homepage markup, so it’s dead CSS that adds noise and bytes. Remove it (or wire it up in the template if it’s intended to be used).

Review Comment:
   The community link cards have a hover style but no explicit focus-visible style. Depending on browser defaults, keyboard users may get a weak or hard-to-see focus indicator on the dark background; add a `:focus-visible` style consistent with the hero buttons.

   NITS: I think the white section feels a little out of place. Could we keep it in the same dark theme as the rest of the page

Review Comment:
   Why do we need a new image for this? The old side also has a similar image 🤔

   This notice is not present in the new version... why would we remove it?

Review Comment:
   The old image has words embedded. We could use it. 
   
   > I'm not sure the "What is..." message is necessary. Why not simply describe what Polaris is without a question?
   
   I'm OK with either way. I can remove it if you feel strongly about it.
