Description

Flink's website (flink.apache.org) represents and informs about the Flink system and the Flink community.

I would like to propose to rework some parts of the website to improve its structure, provide more valuable information about Flink, and present new features.

In particular, I propose to:

• Restructure the menu into three sections:
  1. About Flink: Explains what Flink is and which use cases it addresses (What is it? Does it solve my problem? Is it working / who uses it?)
  2. Users: helps users of Flink (Download, Docs, How to get help)
  3. Contributors: Community, How to contribute, Github
• Rework the start page: add an overview of the feature, add a new figure, move powered-by users above blog
• Add a detailed description about Flink discussing architectures, applications, and operations. This will replacing the out-dated Features page.
• Rework the Use Cases page
• Addi a Getting Help page pointing to mailing list, stack overflow and common error messages (moved from FAQ)
• Remove the information about the inactive IRC channel
