> Allura - better root page and initial impressions
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMDEV-187
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-187
> Project: Community Development
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: GSoC/Mentoring ideas
> Reporter: Dave Brondsema
> Labels: gsoc2016, python, ux
>
> In a new Allura installation, the landing page is not very useful. It shows
> a defunct category system on the left menu and the body of the page is just a
> list of the "neighborhoods" (which you can browse into to find projects).
> This is not great initial impression.
> The categories should be removed, and the main page content should be
> customizable. Some design research and brainstorming will be necessary to
> determine what it should be. Maybe raw HTML that site admins can set, maybe
> a standard allura wiki page. Maybe an option to redirect to a "main" project
> within the site. Maybe the root is its own special project, allowing admins
> to choose between a wiki page, forum, tracker, etc - plus let them have other
> tools at the top level.
> This probably will not take the full GSoC time and the student should plan on
> other improvements to make the Allura site easier for people to use and
> customize. (header/footer customizations maybe?)
