Comment (by ryelle):

 I had some trouble getting the latest diff to apply, so I patched it
 together and uploaded a new version [attachment:"23348.4.diff"] (which has
 the changes from the PR and 23348.5.diff). I also fixed a php syntax
 error, made the `make.wordpress.org` a link — see the attached screenshot
 [attachment:"contributor.png"] — and added in the link on the Privacy page
 :)

 Are there illustrations planned for all the image placeholders here? I
 just want to make sure we're considering future iterations— the image
 style doesn't change with ''every'' release, but it can, so any images
 that are added could add work for future designers.

 I think we might want to rethink the nav, maybe just shrink it down a
 little. These tabs break out when the translated words are longer (to be
 fair, this was already true at ~550px). Not a blocker here, but could be
 worth addressing soon.

 Rather than localizing the "Non-technical" links, we could use the current
 user's locale to build URLs, like support for someone using WP in spanish
 could link to `es.wordpress.org/support/`, same for the photo directory.
 I'm not sure where the translate links would go exactly, maybe something
 like `https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/es/default/wp/dev/`? Maybe
 the "test" item could go to a Make Test Handbook page?

 Could we turn some of these bullet lists into paragraphs? Especially the
 nested list at the end, I think we could use that space as a call to
 action to link to the different projects.

 The link at the end, https://make.wordpress.org/contribute/, doesn't
 exist— is there a plan to publish something there before this is released?
