Description

The docs page (https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/overview.html) has a lot of good content. However, a lot of that TOC is off-screen when initially viewing the page and user needs to scroll to see all the important topics. I think the "Welcome to Docs" page can be improved to show the key (or popular) topics right on that page - e.g. assembled in a set of tables. Example: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/java/ee/

Research direction

Start with the overview page at https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/overview.html and review how its table of contents presents topics above the fold. Compare its organization with the linked Microsoft example, then identify the key or popular topics to surface. Done means the Welcome to Docs page presents those topics in useful tables without requiring users to scroll through the existing off-screen TOC.
