Hi Deepthi, Welcome to the Flink community. Thanks for the proposal. Commonly speaking, anything that could make Flink more attractive is welcome. I was wondering what your FLIP will look like. Are you going to propose a modern UX/UI design via e.g. Zeplin which could be turned into a technical solution that front end developers can work with? This will be typically done by UX/UI designers, afaik. You mentioned your role as a product manager. Or, will you propose a restructure of the Flink websites' content and then find the UX/UI designer to work on the new design? I am a little bit confused.
