kafka.apache.org/ top navigation

[Tyler Knappe <Ty...@colorado.edu>]

There doesn't appear to be an easy way to open an issue about the
kafka.apache.org site specifically, so I figured this would be a good place
to start.  Please point me in another place, if I should open an issue
elsewhere.

The top navigation for the kafka.apache.org site is broken.  The links for
'Get Started' and 'Community' both do not navigate to a new page or open a
menu.  If the screen size is shrunk, you instead get a hamburger menu that
does show navigation (both links don't work, still), but at least there is
some clue as to what navigation is possible.  I'd be happy to open up a PR
to help fix this, but I'm not entirely certain what the default action
should be.

It feels like 'Get Started' should open to https://kafka.apache.org/intro
but the 'Community's first subheading links to https://kafka-summit.org/,
which would be a very confusing experience, and perhaps
https://kafka.apache.org/project is a better default.

If the intention was to pop a menu, to open a dropdown for the Get Started
and Community links, I haven't been able to find it in
https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/pull/269, but it is a 27k line change.
:)  I think this is the better option, but would incur a bit more work to
fix since this would require more design work and some JS to handle the
interaction.

Regardless, please let me know what the intention was and I'd be happy to
open a PR to fix the issue.

Thanks,
-Tyler

Hi Tyler,
This is the right place to discuss it, or in JIRA. I saw there's a similar
issue opened recently: KAFKA-10883
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10883>, just not in English.
If you have anything updated or PR opened, please associate/update in the
JIRA ticket. (And help update in English would be better)

As the issue you described, I don't have any preference since it didn't
bother me that much :)
I think opening the first subheading links should be the good enough.

Let's see if there are other opinions.

Thanks.
Luke
