Talk:Main Page

Page format and content
In my opinion, the home page of this site currently has too much in the way of 'content overview'. (There's a fine line between 'content' and 'content overview'.)

Though the content of this page may not need to change frequently, it might be helpful to organize the page into sections like:
 * 1) Welcome: Short section describing OpenAgile and the purpose of this site in 20 words/links or less: links to the OpenAgile Institute and into the main streams of content (Capacity Building program, Paths of Service)
 * 2) Featured article: Perhaps rotate through some of the developed pages of the site. The Learning Circle page is very presentable and may attract some interest.
 * 3) News: Perhaps recent events or brief recaps of most recent Engagement Meetings or significant progress in the community. (It'd be great if a feed from Twitter or Google Groups could be implemented automatically!)
 * 4) Get Involved: Perhaps an invitation and a short list of the various ways to get involved with the group.

Wikipedia's home page, for example is arranged into 'boxes' rather than sections...that design could work well for us.

David, would you like to create a Revised Homepage to show how it would look and then ask for a vote on the OpenAgile Champions Group?
 * Very good idea...I'll set aside some time for this in the next few weeks. --DavidSabine 10:45, 20 April 2011 (PDT)

Let's protect the content of Main_Page?
I suggest this main page should be protected. The "protect" option on this page (admins can see the button) enables us to protect the page from malicious users. We can protect the page either so that only admins can edit the main page or so that only 'old' users can edit the page (which prevents new members or unregistered users from editing the main page).

After more vandalism today, I've protected the page. --DavidSabine 23:58, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
