Summary

We want to make room for www.gatsbyjs.org to grow. We're going to create a landing page for these items that need room and call them "Ecosystem" in the top nav bar:

• Starter Library
• Plugin Library
• External Resources (https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/awesome-gatsby)

Review to see if these will be included

• Community
• Themes
• Creator Showcase

Additional Description

@fk has developed designs in #7544 (comment)

And has sketched out the pros of the second solution:

1. Priority nav plus More button with drop-down menu
2. Reduce nav items to 5, reorganize them and create landing pages

What are the risks to the epic?

• We could make pages harder to find
• We could lose people who like the current navigation

What questions do we still need to answer, or what resources do we need?

• How much planning future .org changes are required in order to not go down the wrong road?

How will we complete the epic?

We will complete the issues as they are assigned below this Epic.

How else could we accomplish the same goal?

We could go with @fk's first option:

1. Priority nav plus More button with drop-down menu
