Make "Try it" link to the community page?

CL clkao@clkao.org Public Seen by 58

Currently the "Try it" link on the front page prompts for login. It might be more welcoming for newbies to get a sense of what loomio looks like if we link to the community group: https://www.loomio.org/g/WmPCB3IR/loomio-community

Further more, for languages with local supporting group, it can be also useful for the group to be the page linked by "try it", as local users will find it more comfortable when the discussions are in local language.

For example we now have https://www.loomio.org/g/DMHSrLTl/loomio?locale=zh for the zh community. In addition to the "try it" on front page linking there, it'd be great if we can get a redirect from zh.loomio.org or loomio.org/try for the fully localized (in terms of UI and content) page.

Great idea! Also be aware that http://www.loomio.org/explore exists, too. You can see lots of public groups there.

I like this suggestion @clkao
@jonlemmon perhaps in future design of the front page we can roll this or something similar into our thinking

Agreed. We were actually planning on changing that link to "Start a group" and linking directly to the start group page.

I see your point though about making the communities easier to access though. Hmm...

Just mocked this up. "Try it" will link to the "Try Loomio" which has several different options.

I think it will be a lot better than what we have now. :)

Me too! @jonlemmon , would be keen to get together for some language tweaks, but I think this looks great.
