================================================================
"Getting to Mentor Flow:" Your feedback on new mentor page (Matt + mentor team)
 
    Context: Creating a new webmaker.org page for mentors
 
    http://openmatt.org/2013/02/15/mentors/
 
    TLDR version:
 
    New mentor page mock-up (auick and dirty — hasn’t been to design yet): http://mzl.la/mentor_mockup_2
 
    Draft copy for the page: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Mentor-page
 
    List of supporting links for the page: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Mentor-page
 
    Key design challenges for this page:
 
    1) Clearly explaining the value from our users' perspective. Turning it inside out. How do our users' perceive this stuff?
 
    Making it action-oriented. A place to do stuff, not read stuff.
 
    Telegraph the value of JOIN. Feeling a sense of belonging, getting real value -- not just "creating an account" or forking over your email.
 
Proposed answers / draft text (please hack)
 
    What are Webmaker Mentors?
 
    Webmaker Mentors help learners make amazing things on the web, levelling up their digital skills as they go. 
 
    We’re a global community of techies, instructors, educators and everyday people like you. Our non-profit mission: build a more web literate world. Sharing free tools, resources and networks that turn web users into web makers. Join us!
 
    Key calls to action for mentors:
 
    Join. Join our global community. Get access to free kits and resources, connect with other mentors near you, and help build a more web literate world.
 
    Secondary on-ramps:
 
    Access free kits and resources. Get started in 5 minutes or less.
100% free, fun and hackable. All you need is a laptop and a friend.
 
    Connect with other mentors. Find other mentors near you. 
Share ideas, resources and stories. See what others are up to.  
 
    Team up with groups in your hometown. Connect learning in your community. 
Bring together libraries, hackerspaces,code clubs and more. Our Hive network can help.
 
    PEER ASSIST
 
    Does this page tell the overall mentor story? What's missing or not coming across?
 
    Is the value of "Join" clear and compelling enough? Would you click join?
 
    What's the best headline? If you imagine mentors wearing a t-shirt or holding a sign at a rally, what would it say?
 
    "Let’s teach the world the web" / "Let’s teach the world the web together"
 
    "Building a more web literate planet"
 
    Creating a generation of webmakers
 
    ???
 
    From our users perspective, what's the best way to describe the value of hosting a Hive-style pop up event in their hometown?
 
    Team up with groups in your hometown. Bring together libraries, hackerspaces,code clubs and more. Our Hive network can help.
 
    How to Get Involved

/></li
><li>Quick summary:<ul><li><b>The maker movement has become part of the mainstream.</b>These are people with a DIY ethic and an affinity to sharing what they made and how they made it."</li
><li><b>There’s also another movement reaching critical mass:</b> <b>a learning movement.</b> Teachers, educators, museum curators, after-school coaches. Mentors who cop a DIY attitude towards learning.</li
><li><b>These two groups, the makers and the mentors, are coming together.&nbsp;</b><br/><br
/></li
><li><b>What does that mean for us? </b>Mozilla is a community that practices learning by making. We’ve got an ethos of less yak, more hack, and of helping people hack on things they care about.&nbsp;</li
><li>We’re not doing this alone — it’s a huge, distributed collaboration across many organizations and individuals. A “big tent."</li
><li><b>What are we going to do?</b> Use “big tent” models like the Hive Learning Networks and Summer Code Party to take this ethos to the next level.&nbsp;</li
><li>Megazord different teams into one powerhouse incubator for radical ideas about learning, webmaking and mentoring.</li

   we had our best activity on tumblr yet from feb 12-14, and over 58 retweets on twitter promos

Note - these stats may be slightly off - but awesome stats reporting is inbound soon!

"Getting to Mentor Flow:" Your feedback on new mentor page (Matt + mentor team) 

   Context: Creating a new webmaker.org page for mentors

   http://openmatt.org/2013/02/15/mentors/

   TLDR version:

   New mentor page mock-up (auick and dirty — hasn’t been to design yet): http://mzl.la/mentor_mockup_2

   Draft copy for the page: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Mentor-page

   List of supporting links for the page: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Mentor-page

   Key design challenges for this page:

   1) Clearly explaining the value from our users' perspective. Turning it inside out. How do our users' perceive this stuff? 

   Making it action-oriented. A place to do stuff, not read stuff. 

   Telegraph the value of JOIN. Feeling a sense of belonging, getting real value -- not just "creating an account" or forking over your email.

Proposed answers / draft text (please hack)

   Is the value of "Join" clear and compelling enough? Would you click join?

   What's the best headline? If you imagine mentors wearing a t-shirt or holding a sign at a rally, what would it say? 

   "Let’s teach the world the web" / "Let’s teach the world the web together"

   Creating a generation of webmakers
