If you follow the link from there to the policy:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs#navigation

you'll see that the required links need to be part of the main

spark.a.o has)

That works for me.

Hmm. We have a lot of white-space. Should we consider a two column
format for the news when there is sufficient screen width?

Not an issue for the website but it could be if we want to apply the
