Links in primer global nav

[broccolini]

To ensure people find all the things, I think we should cross-link to related documentation sites where needed. Some things aren't ready yet but I wanted to capture what I was thinking should go in each of the dropdowns.

Design 🔽

Title	Link	Status
Interface guidelines	https://primer.style/design	✅
Octicons	https://octicons.github.com	✅
Prototyping	https://primer.style/css/tools/prototyping	✅
Presentations	https://primer.style/presentations	✅
Email	https://primer.style/email	Not shipped
Illustration	https://primer.style/illustration	Not transferred
Brand	https://brand.github.com	✅
Logos	https://github.com/logos	✅

Questions:

• should we differentiate links that aren't in the primer.style domain? Perhaps with ➡️ icon or something?
• how should this be ordered? alphabetical or something else?
• do these feel like the right links in the right section?

Development 🔽

Title	Link	Status
Primer CSS	https://primer.style/design	✅
Primer Components	https://octicons.github.com	✅
Email build tool	https://github.com/github/email-build-tool	✅

(In future we might want to cross-link to other dev documentation like web systems but I think this is good for now.)

Question: Since the email build tool is only accessible to staff, should we add a 🔒icon or something on that and other private links?

About

In future I think we can flesh out more detail under "about", something like this:

• Who can use Primer? (Link to About page and explain usage)
• Team (link to About page team profiles section)
• Open-source (links to primer org)
• Contributing
  • Design and code contribution guidelines for all parts of our design system
  • Guidelines for how to build, customize, and maintain Primer documentation websites (perhaps this links to primer.style/doctocat ?)

What's New

Once the updates to primer.style are completed (homepage and the news feed), I think we could make it easier to jump to releases etc.:

• Releases / changelog (should we have a global changelog?)
• Posts (articles, talks, podcasts, interviews)

Closing for now.
