Hello everyone,

I hope your holiday break was a good one. 

I started thinking about a new homepage design for WebPlatform.org. I thought I'd start by opening a discussion about who will be landing on the homepage and what it is they want to do.

I'm attaching a pdf describing what I'm thinking so far. I'd love to hear more suggestions about users, use cases, and the content that's needed to address those use cases. I started an ether pad where everyone can add more ideas & suggest priorities. https://etherpad.mozilla.org/duBxaKiUXE I like editing on a shared document more than sending around lots of pdfs, but feel free to respond with ideas in email as well, of course. 

So what do you think?

Jen
