Hi Everyone, Thank you Arun for the kind words and the +1!
I've now opened a PR against the site repository that implements all four suggestions: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-site/pull/27&source=gmail&ust=1783075671683000&sa=E In brief: 1. Adds a top-level "Download" menu item so the download link is reachable from the top of the page (it highlights as active on the download page, like the other entries). 2. Removes the unlabeled play-arrow icon from the top menu; the YouTube channel remains linked in the footer. If we'd rather keep the icon with a visible label instead, I'm happy to adjust. 3. Updates the intro line to "An Apache top level project since 2006" (which also won't go stale), and fixes the small "it's" -> "its" typo in the same sentence. 4. Adds an "OFBiz on GitHub" link to the footer alongside the YouTube and Vimeo channels. Following the README, the changes were made in the PHP templates (template/region and template/page) and all HTML pages were regenerated with ./php2html.sh — so the diff touches every page, but the effective change is small. I've attached before/after screenshots of the header, the intro text and the footer, plus one of the download page showing the new menu item highlighted. If the attachments don't make it through the list, the same changes can be reviewed on the PR. Reviews and suggestions are very welcome — happy to adjust or split any of these if folks prefer.
