[p2pu-dev] Notes from Community Call - 25th August 2011

[John Britton]

Good suggestion Pippa, we'll test out how users react to putting schools
under the Learn item. I also really like the verb 'assist' will try that out
in a few places to see how it works.

We're going to draw a lot of attention to Schools on the P2PU homepage and
on the Learn page (possibly a carousel or similar) and also add a single
click jump to the footer. The goal is to give it a try and I think in the
end Schools will actually get more attention than they get now.

Give it a little time and we'll have some mocks to share and get feedback.
