Research direction

Compare the API documentation home pages for cuDF and cuML with their main documentation pages, using the linked screenshots and URLs as references. Identify how the landing pages and sidebar are configured, then determine whether the sidebar can expose the installation page at docs.rapids.ai/install. Done means the API documentation home page provides the requested sidebar navigation and a clear path to installation.

Report needed documentation

Describe the documentation you'd like

The home page of the API libraries e.g https://docs.rapids.ai/api/cudf/stable/ and https://docs.rapids.ai/api/cuml/stable/ are mostly landing pages with a summary and a list of the contents of the page. It would be nice is there was a way to configure the landing page to also have the sidebar that is present in the main documentation (see images below). I'm mostly interested a fast way to land on the installation page (https://docs.rapids.ai/install). My user journey (albeit may be unique) was https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf -> https://docs.rapids.ai/api/cudf/stable/ -> https://docs.rapids.ai/api/cudf/stable/user_guide/ then https://docs.rapids.ai/api (once I thought the installation guide would be there) -> https://docs.rapids.ai/install

Nice work on the standardized docs.
