This commit addresses a number of issues in order to better align the Apache Geode project website with ASF trademark policy. In particular, it:

  • Adds trademark symbols where necessary
  • Replaces the site's introductory text with a single-sentence description of Geode

This commit also:

  • Removes seemingly deprecated code that was no longer rending GitHub repository statistics
  • Adds a link to the ASF privacy policy, as per ASF policy
  • Updates the page title

Thanks @semioticrobotic!
The footer changes look good to me; left a couple of clarifications on the index.html file. Hope, we can close-out soon.

I would prefer to eliminate them here to avoid the "wall of text" effect that occurs when users load the page. I like the way Apache Airflow does it. Personally, I believe:

  • This is a lot of words where fewer could suffice, and
  • If we have important points about functionality or benefits, we should include them in the more detailed and thorough explanation in the following site section, which seems to serve that purpose.

That said, I was partial to:

Providing low latency, high concurrency data management solutions since 2002

So you'll see I made that slogan the new page title 😄

left a couple of clarifications on the index.html file

Thanks, @nitin-amp! Could you point me to them? I'm afraid I can't see them. (Maybe I need more coffee.)

If you navigate to files changed, you should be able to see/ respond to those 2 comments.
The first one is a dup (same as what @raboof asked about marketing bullets)
