This is a known issue on the Pulsar website. There was an issue tracking that. There was one committer from YJ looking into it before. I haven't followed up on the progress. But it might be worth checking the issue first. - Sijie On Fri, Feb 12, 2021 at 1:03 PM Jonathan Ellis wrote: > Thanks f

I took a look at Arrow and Accumulo since they are among the first ones that are fully compliant according to Whimsy. Both use the approach of "drop down menu with required ASF links". So I withdraw the suggestion to move these to a footer. On Fri, Feb 12, 2021 at 2:46 PM Dave Fisher wrote: >

Thanks for the heads up. It looks like we have all but Events today, but they are injected with Javascript so a simple GET request that doesn't process scripts won't see them. On Fri, Feb 12, 2021 at 2:46 PM Dave Fisher wrote: > Inline > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Feb 12, 2021, at 9:36 AM,

Not to complicate things further with another idea, but if there's a concern about keeping the main Pulsar site pure, perhaps we could have a separate microsite dedicated to these other items. Apache Flink, for example, has a separate site just for training purposes. There's a risk that a separate

- Agree that we can add "case study" since it takes the attention off Pulsar itself and focuses on the users' perspectives (e.g. how Pulsar can be used, how Pulsar fits their situation, etc.). - Besides, do we consider adding "Book and Paper" section? It is one way to demonstrate that Pulsar is
