Why?
We want p2pu.org to reflect what is going on at P2PU as a whole. This includes featuring other projects, linking to badges, featuring blog posts, etc. We also want to be able to curate what shows up no p2pu.org better, not just syndication.
Things we want to say
- what we are all about / what we do
- things that are going on currently
- call(s) to action
Things we want to link to
- info.p2pu.org (Blog)
- thepeople.p2pu.org (Community)
- badges.p2pu.org (Badges)
- mechanical moocs (MOOCs) *
- course index (Courses)
- schools *
- reports
- research
- about P2PU -> who we are / org information / people
* doesn't have a landing page
Things we want to feature/show on the homepage
- Upcoming/special courses
- New badges
- Interesting people
- Good blog posts (we can use this for announcements of all kinds, e.g. research, projects, etc.)
- Twitter feed (see http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/#tab_quickstart for example)
Info in footer

-
Things to keep in mind
- Make it easy for "normal" folks to edit dynamic content
- Aggregate content we may have in other places already
Static vs Dynamic
Curated vs Automatic
Should we surface etherpads
