Summary: [Website] Change home page heading text to match GitHub
repo description
Key: ARROW-14086
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14086
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Website
Reporter: Ian Cook
In May there was a discussion on the Arrow dev mailing list about shortening
the description of Apache Arrow that appears on its GitHub repo page. The
discussion is archived at[
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rccd9848550e4b606ff80295d152419e4c5486a7be14e239ee21c53fd%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rccd9848550e4b606ff80295d152419e4c5486a7be14e239ee21c53fd%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E].
The outcome of this was that the description was changed from
{quote}Apache Arrow is a cross-language development platform for in-memory
data. It specifies a standardized language-independent columnar memory
format for flat and hierarchical data, organized for efficient
analytic operations on modern hardware. It also provides computational
libraries and zero-copy streaming messaging and interprocess
communication…

to
{quote}Apache Arrow is a multi-language toolbox for accelerated data
interchange and in-memory processing
{quote}
I think we should change the heading text on
[https://arrow.apache.org|https://arrow.apache.org/] to match this new
description in the GitHub repo. The goal here is not to make the website
heading text shorter, but to be more consistent.
Currently the website heading text reads:
{quote}A cross-language development platform for in-memory analytics
{quote}
I think we should change it to exactly match the description on the GitHub repo:
{quote}Apache Arrow is a multi-language toolbox for accelerated data
interchange and in-memory processing
