Description

Suggestion

I suggest that msys2.github.io use SUMMARY.md to describe its navigation structure by mkdocs-literate-nav plugin, instead of configuring it through the nav field in mkdocs.yml.

By doing this, contributors who want to edit documentation or modify its navigation structure would only need to focus on docs_dir, which is web/.

Research direction

Start by reviewing mkdocs.yml and the web/ documentation directory, then read the mkdocs-literate-nav plugin documentation. Done means navigation is described by a SUMMARY.md in web/ instead of the nav field, and the documentation site still builds with the intended structure.
