What
On the landing page (https://parquet.apache.org/) increase the text contrast for:
- the navigation bar
- the summary about what Parquet is in the middle
The affected areas are marked on this screenshot:
Why
Now I could make a subjective argument and say "look at it, it feels hard to read" and if you agree with that you can skip the remaining Why section.
But there's also a strictly technical argument here: Accessibility/A11y as defined by the W3C, specifically WCAG 2.2 - Technique G18. WCAG is the underlying technical specification for many laws around the world (reference), which I think is a solid reason why we should at least try to adhere to it.
How
There are multiple ways of fixing this. I personally think that one will always have a hard time when trying to get a readable text overlaying a picture. Hence I suggest that the two sections mentioned above shall get a solid-colored background. That also makes the constrast calculation way easier if one wants to check if the contrast is "good enough".
