Changes to front page of cstart.org | Suggestions and Questions | Forum

Just a few suggestions for changes to the front page of cstart.org (Rizwan, I assume that making changes there requires changing theme files?):

1. I think we really should have a few links to important parts of the Wiki right on the first page.  The OHKLA and CLLARE pages would be obvious candidates for inclusion here, maybe the 3 offical documents too, and perhaps Friends of CSTART.  I don't know if we want these links to be just plain text underneath the current text that ends in "help us reach the moon!" or if we want them to be buttons like the current About Us / Get Involved / etc links.  Thoughts?
2. We should probably acknowledge our parternship with One Flag in Space somewhere on the front page.  There's an example of how we may do this at OpenLuna's site.

They are currently not considered a "Friend of CSTART" because Friends are defined as "other groups or organizations who are engaging in space exploration or research under an "open source" philosophy", which One Flag in Space, as noble and like-minded a group as they may be, do not qualify as.  So, at least for now, they are an "official partner" (this happened relatively recently – see our blog/Twitter/FB/Reddit).

Of course, we could always change the definition of "Friends of CSTART" to something so that OFiS meets the criteria, then they could be a Friend.  I have no objection to doing this – in fact, I'm sure I've suggested it elsewhere before (but maybe I just thought it and didn't write it).

It may be a little difficult to widen our definition of "Friends" sufficiently to include OFiS without also including a lot of other groups.  Any ideas?

Regardless of how we decide to do it (as a Friend or a Partner), we should reciprocate the prominent link somehow, that was my motivation behind point 2. above.

Thanks for taking care of this, Rizwan, it looks great.

Since the link category is "Our Partners and Friends" I have added Copenhagen Suborbitals to that category.
