landing page

[lunebellec]

The landing page currently discourages submission. As we are now open for business, it is time to update this page!

This one http://proceedings.brainhack.org/?
is there an aspect of that page in particular that you find discouraging?
There is only one paper.... an example....

I am also tagging @anibalsolon and @r03ert0 here because there were at some point very nice efforts in the design aspect of the paper, and that work has not yet been merged (that's beyond the landing page but I don't know why this has not been accepted yet....)
but let us know what it is about the landing page you find discouraging :)
Thank you :)

No I am talking about the documentation page (link on the proceedings website) https://brainhack-proceedings.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

FYI this repo (docs) link to brainhack-proceedings.readthedocs.io

http://proceedings.brainhack.org/ is based on a different repo (https://github.com/brainhack-proceedings/brainhack-proceedings.github.io)

Ok! Thank you :) ✨

For the docs: Can't we just kill the landing? and directly land on "how to submit" (just keeping the content menu on the left menu should be fine, no need for a landing page as this is basically the website we made, and then we just link to docs for more details :)

What do you think?

Personally, I would expect to find all information relevant to a website within the website. In our case, there's a bit of redundancy between the main webpage and the readthedocs page. Google analytics should help us see in the future if people arrive to one page or the other, and also see which proportion of the people arriving to the proceeding.brainhack.org page go to the readthedocs page and vice-versa. At that point we may want to decide on keeping only the page people really visit.
