Get involved sub-menu should include a link to Make

[valentinbora]

Usability-wise, the "Get Involved" menu lets you either click on the parent menu item to go to make.wordpress.org or its single sub-menu item "Five for the Future".

I consider we should change this to allow people to reach Make easier. Right now, they'd have to click on the parent menu item itself, which conflicts with the sub-menu showing up usability-wise.

My suggestion would be to include a sub-menu linking to Make.

It might also be useful to provide the Meetings and Team Updates link in that dropdown. They're available from the Make site itself as top level pages so would make sense to provide them within the Get Involved sub-menu.

I agree. It would makes sense to have meetings & team updates.

@dufresnesteven @garrett-eclipse I want to contribute to this ticket. I need access to this site. And I wanted that either this could be achieved by adding sub menu pages to get involved parent menu, or it involves custom stuff for which I have to make a PR.
Thanks!

Hey @muhammadfaizanhaidar,

You can find the code for the new WordPress.org header here: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-mu-plugins/tree/trunk/mu-plugins/blocks/global-header-footer

The simplest way to test it locally, is to run the new News theme that includes it: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-news-2021

@dd32 thanks for your help after reviewing the mu plugins code and reading the above ticket I found out that there is no need to add new sub menu items via hard coding I think this can be done by WP admin from appearance menu settings where one can drag and drop sub menu pages here.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!

For WordPress.org, it's hard-coded here:
​https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-mu-plugins/blob/trunk/mu-plugins/blocks/global-header-footer/blocks.php#L435-L539

For Rosetta (international sites), it's hard-coded, in.. a file that I don't think is open-source right now.
