For example, https://go.dev/doc/contribute is an invaluable resource for contributing to Go, but I can't find it under https://go.dev/doc/.

I imagine other pages also fell off the radar given the website redesign, but I'm not sure how to check.

There shouldn't be very many unlinked pages, since all the content on golang.org moved over verbatim except for the front page. Looking at the old front page, the old header linked to /project and /help/, which may not have links anymore. I've put both of them into the footer in CL 366577. Thanks!

The "Contribution Guide" is reachable via the website, but it's deeply buried:

"Docs" -> "Installing Go" -> "Installing Go from source" -> "(Optional) Switch to the master branch" -> "contribute your changes"

I think it was the same on the old website, so it's not a regression.

Ah, so now "About" will point to https://go.dev/project, which does have a direct link to the contribution guide. That seems like a big improvement, thanks!

I think it was the same on the old website, so it's not a regression.

That's entirely fair - I don't recall exactly the layout of the old site, and I don't have a way to check easily now that the site redirects.

There also doesn’t seem to be a link to the standard library either

IIRC clicking packages in the hamburger menu used to bring you to this page

now, it brings you to the pkg.go.dev search

the old page was at /pkg but the new page is at /std so this actually might just be a case of a bad redirect

_content: adjust footer
b534d56 
Change footer About heading to link to /project.
Linking to /about was always mainly about pkg.go.dev,
and now it redirects to pkg.go.dev/about, so that's clearly wrong.
But we need a link to somewhere, and we also need a link to /project
(which used to a be a top-level heading on golang.org),
so it's a good match.

Add Standard Library to Packages section.

Add Help to Get Started section.
(Used to be a top-level heading on golang.org.)

For golang/go#40785 (but probably more to do there).
Fixes golang/go#49737.
Fixes golang/go#49768.
