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

[Pippa Buchanan]

Yeah, a carousel about the schools would be great, especially as it has the
possibility to provide much more information about what each school does
than is currently possible.

re Assist - we're really kind of restricted in a call to action that is
about supporting learning etc - both support and help imply help desks and
would be very misleading. Hopefully "assist" is clear to users.

I'm looking forward to the mock ups.
