<div dir="ltr">More and more I've come to appreciate kickstarter pages conducive to exploring community products in 1 long page at your own pace, without a zillion subpages that realistically balkanizes navigability, community efforts, and last but not least edit histories. Just my opinion, influenced by Mike Lee's professional web strategy opinions and others.<br>
<br>Just my opinion of course. If you/others see the world differently, and are willing to creating a clean site map for a facelift and show everyone a better way, if people believe this genuinely enhances participation in our community product, fantastic.<br>
<br>If so, can We/David/All <u>please</u> (as a general rule, now and in future) create separate staging/scaffolding sites asking for involvement/feedback, before summarily facelifting sizable amounts of others' work?<br>

the wiki landing page at<br>

<br>
1. Every time I went to that page, I was overwhelmed by the quantity<br>
of information. To reduce the sensation of facing down a firehose,I<br>
shifted most of the information about people and processes to subpages<br>
linked under the heading 'Us'.<br>
<br>
2. The second pass was to shift the focus from the technology the<br>
project uses to the the value the product offers users.<br>
<br>
I have tried to create a funnel with:<br>
- Devices and Networking<br>
- Educational Content<br>
- Learning and Collaboration<br>
<br>
We need a few points under each heading.<br>
<br>
3. Finally, I left the section on ecosystem in the front to emphasis<br>
the relationships XSCE might have with other projects.<br>
<br>
Edit welcome.<br>
