Description
The first MediaGoblin instances are floating around right now and soon we'll have our own public instance online. Which is great, but there's one thing that would make it all a lot nicer which is a proper home page. Right now got a quick "Welcome to GNU MediaGoblin!", log in and register links plus some sample images, but I've seen quite a few ideas thrown around for what should be on that page.
- Say you've just set up your own instance, what kind of things would you want for your new welcome page? What would make sense and be useful?
- For our public instance, will we use the same page? If so, how will we change it and what should we add? How will our mediagobl.in and mediagoblin.org relate?
There are several "faces" of MediaGoblin we could show. There could be hints to help you make an account on that particular instance, or set up your own. There could be featured images, tags or users. We could show we're a FOSS project and that others can join us and help improve/spread the software. Or a combination of all of those.
Alright, that's enough rambling for now. I'm assigning this ticket to 0.0.5, because I think this is something we could really use for that release and will not take a huge amount of time. It will involve a lot of different aspects and people so I'm not assigning it to anybody in particular. :)

I'd be okay with making discussing the frontpage a priority on our next hackers' meeting? We could even pull up an Etherpad for it.
Of course we could always discuss on IRC! ;)

Okay! We discussed on IRC and made some changes. I'm happy with it! I'll run it by Deb for further textual change requests.
I've pushed a new semi-placeholder base.html. It's a decent placeholder for now, simple but it gets the job done.
I was thinking, maybe we should have a meeting some time in the future to discuss all of this? Maybe grab an EtherPad and try to make some decisions.
I'd really like to make something great for our front page, but I need to know more about the content. :)
