Hi Antoine,

Well done, btw, regarding some deadlinks, we could add checks in CI,
here is a useful tool [1]. (Some links may cause 403 due to frequent
visits.) but overall it is good, we have used it in SkyWalking for a
long time[2].
In addition, we can need to make a plan to do the official website of
the project, or hand it over to other volunteers. here is the list to
check [3].

https://github.com/apache/skywalking/blob/master/.github/workflows/dead-link-checker.yaml
[3] https://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites.html
