- Restructure index.md to highlight user journey personas (Deploy, Troubleshoot, Research) - Add card-based Get Started section with time estimates and skill levels - Reorganize mkdocs.yml nav to persona-first structure with clearer hierarchy - Enable Material theme navigation features (tabs, sections, breadcrumbs, TOC) - Add prominent deprecation banner to legacy installation.md directing to Quick Deploy - Update Network Services section with current service status - Streamline Support and References sections for better accessibility - Mark MaDDash as deprecated in favor of WLCG Grafana dashboards This improves user experience by organizing content around common tasks rather than technical categories, making it easier for users to find the right documentation for their needs.
