[Cc-webedit] [networking] Front page of website

[Jonathan Leighton]

Yes, it is a bit confusing. There was a request from the coal caravan
for better promotion on the front page, which seemed reasonable given
they are a working group and it is happening right now. But there was
also a concern that the front page needs consistency, and shouldn't be
solely dedicated to the coal caravan. Hence the current mix.

I think the text borrowed from the climate camp in the city is not
ideally suited to being on the front page, but it's the best we've got
at the moment.

If someone is able to write some short, concise copy for the front page
describing what the climate camp is about that would be great. In my
view the text should be quite general, and we wouldn't expect it to
change much over the coming months. Some thought should also be given to
how we promote the "next thing" like the coal caravan (now) or the May
gathering (after that).

To summarise, yes it's certainly not ideal and we are open to
suggestions to make it better.

Cheers,
Jon
