- Context: Creating a new webmaker.org page for mentors
- <a href="http://openmatt.org/2013/02/15/mentors/">http://openmatt.org/2013/02/15/mentors/</a>
- TLDR version:
- New mentor page mock-up (auick and dirty — hasn’t been to design yet): <a href="http://mzl.la/mentor_mockup_2">http://mzl.la/mentor_mockup_2</a>
- Draft copy for the page: <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Mentor-page">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Mentor-page</a>
- List of supporting links for the page: <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Mentor-page">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Mentor-page</a>
- 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.
