KIP-1133 — AK Documentation and Website in Markdown
Accepted Admin
Migrates the Apache Kafka documentation website from raw HTML with Handlebars.js templates and server-side includes to Markdown with a Hugo/Docsy static site generator. The existing raw HTML documentation mixed content with styling, had inconsistent heading levels, required a web server for testing, and was a high barrier to contribution for developers unfamiliar with HTML/CSS.
