2016/homepage

 2016 homepage  is a project to refine the IndieWebCamp wiki's homepage or redesign it altogether that was completed and launched in 2016.
 * See 2019/homepage for another iteration!

Why
Because we can improve the site homepage! For example, make it responsive and accessible to more generations.

Non-goals
Note: we are not trying to redesign the whole site. Just the homepage and its content.

Issues
Please add any new issues here:
 * https://github.com/indieweb/wiki/issues

Past issues:
 * : Suggestion: a graphic for "Getting Started" on the homepage could be good - similar size as the heart icon on there. See discussion https://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-06-10#t1465582107200
 * undefined incorporated into https://github.com/indieweb/wiki/issues/29
 * : Suggestion: put "home, getting started, discuss, FAQ, search" in some main navigation bar on the top
 * undefined "home" is already the logo, getting started & discuss & FAQ are already in the sidebar, search is already on top. I don't see anything to do here.

Examples
Some examples to look at of nice homepages (ideally of active creator-centric communities)

Community website home pages (that are more than just a single project)
 * ... still looking for good examples of such

Project-specific examples of nice homepages:
 * http://habariproject.org/en/
 * undefined This one has some nice appeal without seeming too marketingy.
 * http://unhosted.org/
 * undefined something "off" about it, look very 1990s / geeky
 * http://jekyllrb.com/
 * undefined bit of a mess, too much CLI nonsense to be friendly to generations

Generic wireframe examples: "which one of the two possible websites are you currently designing? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CaOvCDjWQAQgjW7.png"

Participants
If you wish to actively help with this project, please list yourself here and be reasonably (e.g. daily) available on IRC
