Community and Business now compare at /pricing/#community, below the plans so prices still lead the page. Fixes the #/community and #/business nav anchors that never existed.

Nothing links them now that the nav pricing submenu is gone.

The about page had drifted: the stats were years out of date (55M pages/month, 80,000 projects), the mission copy was abstract positioning rather than anything we actually say, and several links were stale. Stats now come from the [AWS post](https://about.readthedocs.com/blog/2025/09/aws-powers-read-the-docs/) (100k projects, 250M pageviews, 350k builds), and the page links there so there's a dated source to check them against next time. For the mission copy, rather than write something new I pulled from what's already on record — the vision statement from the 2025 vision post, the founding line from `open-source-philosophy.rst`, and the funding model from the 10-year anniversary post. Worth a look to confirm the bootstrapped/funding sentence in the intro is how we want to say it publicly. Two link fixes worth flagging: the contribute link was a **404** (`docs.readthedocs.io/page/contribute.html` — contribute lives in the dev docs), and the docs, team, and blog links were all pointing at legacy domains that redirect. Blog links now use `{{ SITEURL }}` to match the nav. The team section is unchanged. The platform-comparison work that was briefly on this branch now lives in #438. Unrelated but noticed while in here: `docs/user/team.rst` in readthedocs.org carries the same outdated stats, and `readthedocs_theme/templates/includes/footer.html` still links `about.readthedocs.org/blog/`. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

The Community vs Business comparison lived on
/choosing-a-platform/, restating what the pricing page already owns — and it had drifted from it. The page claimed 24x5 support where pricing sells 3/2/1 business day, listed SSO as a flat platform feature where it's tiered by plan (Google is Pro-only), and said Business gets more memory wherebuilds.rstgives both 7GB.Moving the comparison onto pricing puts it on the page that owns those numbers. Anything that varies by plan now says so and links, instead of restating figures that go stale — that's the part that keeps this from drifting again.
It sits below
Compare plansrather than above the plan grid, so the page still leads with prices.This needs a redirect before it merges.
/choosing-a-platform/404s otherwise, and there's no redirect config in this repo — it has to be added in the Read the Docs dashboard, pointing at/pricing/. The URL was linked from the signup modal and the log-in dropdown, so assume external links too.Worth your judgement: whether the Community card earns its place on pricing at all, or whether the "Open source? Free, forever" banner above the plans was already saying enough.
