Hi all,

I've been looking at ofbiz.apache.org lately as if I were seeing it for the
first time, and it made me think about how we can improve the landing page.
A few small changes could make ofbiz.apache.org easier for a first-time
visitor to navigate:

   1. The orange play-arrow (the "▶" button) at the right end of the top
   menu isn't labeled, and it quietly opens the YouTube channel in a new tab —
   a newcomer probably can't tell where it leads. A small label or tooltip
   could help, or we could drop the button since the YouTube channel is
   already linked in the footer.
   2. The "Download OFBiz" button only appears right at the bottom of the
   page, below all the content. For someone looking to try it out, adding a
   "Download" / "Get Started" link nearer the top can help.
   3. The intro line reads "An Apache top level project for 10 years, OFBiz
   has shown it's stability...". Since OFBiz has been a top-level project
   since 2006, the "10 years" is a little out of date.
   4. The footer links the YouTube and Vimeo channels but not GitHub, even
   though github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework (and ofbiz-plugins) is where
   many contributors first look and where pull requests happen. Adding a
   GitHub link alongside the others would be beneficial.

Happy to file Jira issues and small PRs if these seem worthwhile. Please
feel free to add anything you've noticed.

Thanks,
Aditi
