Description
Following the discussion in #433, we have begun to merge pull requests (#452, #445, #444, #498, #450) with the overarching goal of simplifying the navigation bar in the site's upper right corner. Due to limited space, that drive will certainly result in fewer pages being listed at the top of the page.
That leaves the question of what to do with the less prominent pages that don't make the cut. Here are the URLs that are now, or could soon, be taken out of the nav.
Not there now
- /binder
- /conduct
- /embed-jupyter-widgets
- /hub
- /try
Could be removed
- /widgets (Cut widgets from nav #497)
The only one being considered for addition to the existing nav is /try in #528. The deletion of /embed-jupyter-widgets has been suggested in #466.
Even if those two patches are merged, we still will soon have three or four pages without any reference in the nav or footer. This ticket in intended to record this bug (a @choldgraf suggestion) and to serve as a space to discuss what we do with them.
The only proposal I've seen thus far is @krassowski's note in #87 that we should consider a second-level dropdown within the nav. I'm open to that idea but I'm not sure what options bootstrap, our scaffolding system, would provide.
I'd like to toss out the possibility of another fix: Deletion. Are the /binder and /hub pages necessary? Would we really lose anything if we linked off to the documentation for those projects instead?
