Hi! I would like to help with this redesign. I reviewed the current DataFusion homepage, documentation structure, and the discussion in this issue. I agree that the homepage should become a clearer entry point for new users while keeping the existing documentation authoritative and easy to reach. I would not propose replacing Sphinx or rebuilding the documentation stack. Instead, I suggest implementing a focused product landing page within the existing website and preserving the current URLs, documentation navigation, search, dark mode, and ASF requirements. The proposed homepage would focus on these user questions: 1. What is Apache DataFusion? 2. Why would I use it instead of another query engine or framework? 3. How can I run my first query? 4. How can I extend or embed it? 5. Where should I go for Python, Java, Comet, or Ballista? 6. How can I contribute? A possible page structure: - concise product positioning; - a minimal, verified Rust quick-start example; - Arrow-native execution and open-format interoperability; - kernel-level extensibility; - a small architecture diagram; - primary use cases; - clear paths to DataFusion Core and its subprojects; - links to documentation, API reference, downloads, GitHub, and community; - contributor entry point and ASF footer. My implementation plan would be: - first, submit an information-architecture and content proposal; - create low-fidelity desktop and mobile layouts; - confirm all technical claims and examples with maintainers; - implement the approved page in the existing Sphinx theme; - add responsive, dark-mode, accessibility, and link checks; - keep the work split into small reviewable pull requests. I would also avoid generic database marketing, unsupported benchmark claims, decorative dashboards, and a framework migration. The design should communicate DataFusion's real differentiators through verified technical examples. If this scope matches the intent of the issue, could I take responsibility for the homepage redesign work? I can begin with the page outline and wireframes before opening an implementation PR. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
