** priority of the site is what:
 
*** donations/support, finding media and licensing media? what about culture, science, etc
 
** Strong Header needs to be decided
 
** Strong treatment of CC logo
 
** Strong menu, if we keep at all, need to go through menu items and decide
 
** Strong tagline or none at all?
 
** Header across the sites
 
** nuke subdomains and integrate into the site where possible
 
** Libbya design
 
*** like the bottom graphic of affiliates, but should be a real map if use that, and should go to the affiliate locations
 
*** somewhat like the curator area, but have question about what should go there, is it for blog posts? need to write software for maintenance
 
** menu: need to compare current and the libbya one
 
** look at the old site main page, and the current one, agree upon elements to keep or kill

=== Content for home page ===
 
For Carousel up top, there are several options, which we can rotate in and out depending on what we want to highlight at any given time:
 
*Campaign banner, linking to donate
 
**during campaign, might also want to have https://creativecommons.net/figures if up to date
 
*Jesse Dylan video http://creativecommons.org/videos/a-shared-culture
 
*Power of Open, linking to http://thepowerofopen.org/ (either banner, see attached for example, or book cover)
 
*Global Summit (wiki page would have to be updated with wrap-up, photos etc.)
 
*(ML) Another permanent one in the phase 1 deck is something about the licenses
 
 
other
 
*if significant, a current CC Talks With (http://creativecommons.org/interview/)
 
*same for news item from the blog (ie. YouTube adoption, government data, etc.)
 
 
 
For 3 buckets:
 
*Global Network - CC Affiliate Network http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC_Affiliate_Network
 
*a featured case study http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Case_Studies
 
*CC swag/goodies/store (w/ actual picture of swag)
 
*(ML) I think the reason the "partners" thing is in the p1 mockup is the same reason we created https://creativecommons.org/who-uses-cc -- board wants to see famous names. Maybe can be folded into case studies bucket.
 
 
Let's make sure the verticals (culture, science, edu, gov) are linked to in menu drop-down up top.
 
 
 
For get involved options at bottom, flickr icon should be changed to identi.ca, maybe add newsletter somehow (http://creativecommons.org/newsletter). Google + is probably inevitable, once they roll out for org's.
