Hi Robin,
"Is your main criticism that the Everything and Front Page links often look that same?"
No, if the front page is full of people doing things and showing what they have done... warts and all, failures included, I'll be as happy as a pig in s##t.
If they all build the same machine... I still want to see them all.
At least this is still available from the recent activity page. Our front page advertises us to the new to the site browsers, and first impressions count.
I think we need to encourage doers to the site to stabilise the foundation. Easier said than done.
The best way of encouraging people to do it ..... is by doing it. The Dans built this site exactly like that. They built, they showed, we all got hooked, and and we all followed in some form or another.
The front page does not need to change every day, perhaps it should be reserved for projects. None of us users see it anyway...What I saw when I looked, caused me to write this rant.... I reiterate, this is not about my projects, none of us users look at it anyway.
Better stale projects than classifieds and newbies questions (which will be caught in the recent activity page where the people who are going to answer them are anyway)..
Remember, the front page is where the link from Otherpower goes to for the first glimpse of FL. What do you want them to see?
