Replace or remove Get involved on front page

Opened this issue · 6 comments

See #741 for details.

#746 is a first cut at this. However, now we've got duplication between the "join the conversation" bit and the "what's happening" section at the bottom.

@rbowen I really like the Twitter feed but... Just thinking aloud here, what if we replaced Get involved (or another block) with graphics, or a nice diagram that would sum up the architecture? There's too much text on the front page already.

It would make more sense to place the architecture diagram next to What is RDO?, though.

I'd like to see what you have in mind.

The Twitter block kind of has to go on the second row, because it is, by design, much wider than what we need in the top row. But everything is up for discussion. Let's see what you have in mind.

Good point about the Twitter block.

By diagram I meant something like https://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/Article-Images/B04000_12_08.png but for RDO. Some others I could find are too complex for a front page (https://hguemar.fedorapeople.org/slides/rdo-packaging-kilo/img/openstack-full-architecture.png).

More graphics could improve the look & feel I think. Look, for example, at the Ansible front page: https://www.ansible.com/.

I also like the stats there. Would it make sense, for instance, to list a number of packages available in RDO repos? Maybe something similar to https://dashboards.rdoproject.org/rdo-dev? < /brainstorm>

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate the dashboard into the front page for some time, but I don't know how to do that.
