Django-rest-framework: Please make the docs usable again

I noticed the website is currently down due to the issue with George Floyd. While I have full sympathy for the current issues in the US, disabling the site entirely is a bit much which could also kill the google search ranking.

Would an overlay or a banner perhaps be a useful alternative?

Additionally, the vast majority of the world (myself included) doesn't live in the US so a little bit of context would be useful. A list of names alone is confusing to say the least if you don't know the context.

Hi.

This one is a personal decision, so I鈥檓 not particularly open to group discussion on this. I expect the site will be offline for a few days, and then back.

It鈥檚 not my country either, but racism isn鈥檛 a local issue, and the moment is so stark and so grotesque that I feel it鈥檚 a time to voice solidarity.

Hey, for those that do not know the context, a link to a news site/wikipedia would actually be helpful. I know someone who at first glance thought these must have been the contributors' names.

I鈥檓 not saying racism is a local issue. But some information about what the message is trying to say would be good.

Sure, if it happend in a first world country - everybody should care!

Locking this one now - it's a personal voice, not an opportunity for group discussion - plenty of other spaces for that.
