Hi folks, since the branch was open I played around with it and pushed the result to refresh:
https://stormcrawler.staged.apache.org/ Restyled the whole thing (new colors, that should also get rid of the flag issue) and gave the docs pages the same look while I was at it - they got a version switcher and dark mode too. Fonts are self-hosted, no new deps, 3.7.0 content is merged. Not 100% happy with every detail yet, so feedback welcome.
