Out of scope:
Flink documentation. https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/ We are NOT proposing any changes to Flink documentation as there is general consensus in the community that the Flink documentation is very well-organized and easily searchable based on the previous discussion thread: https://lists.apache.org/thread/c3pt00cf77lrtgt242p26lgp9l2z5yc8.


Here are a few initial designs with dark mode and moving navigation to the top, color options, and a GIF showcasing how Flink works instead of the Flink Squirrel logo:

We are considering implementing both dark and light mode with a toggle. Order of implementation may result in one mode being available early followed by the other mode and toggle.

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

...

1) Maintain status quo. No changes to the existing website. This is a rejected alternative as we received feedback from customers, specifically new users that the content could be better organized and could have improved visual appeal for a better user experience. Users shared that they did not understand the core value proposition of Flink. Some users stated that the design is unwelcoming and dated, especially when compared to other Apache projects.

2) For implementation, we considered using pre-built Hugo themes or paid solutions to build websites. This is a rejected alternative as pre-built Hugo themes explored were not suitable for the main website and required similar levels of effort to modify. We also rejected paid solutions as an option.
