Featurette on main site?

"There's a site, too?"  Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a fair amount of people actually forgot that.  I practically did myself.

Since my "redesign" thread failed miserably, I was hoping maybe this specific idea might go through.  I think the main site should have featurettes, similar to Save Star Wars.  A FAQ or anything, really.  

However, more specifically, I was thinking featurettes on some of our community's fan preservation efforts.  Something like what the remnants of fanedits.com looks like, only consolidated into Star Wars preservations.  It might give some credibility to the main site in showing that, yes, we have done more than endless bitching in an attempt to improve our situation with the movies.  Yes, said information is readily available here on the forums, but I feel like it's important to add to the main site.  Thoughts?

 

Forgive me if I'm being inarticulate or unreasonable.

I think I get what you mean. Feature our most popular edit and preservation threads on the main page with a little write up. That way we can point people to OriginalTrilogy.com and they won't immediately get lost. :-D

Essentially, yes.  Perhaps more in-detail if someone is willing to do these write-ups.

I think that sounds like a great idea.

I know that I have sent a number of people in the direction of originaltrilogy.com without much information.  I am sure that it was probably a little daunting for them at first.  I am sure that it is easy for those of us that have been here for years to just know everything that is going on and where to look, but to a newcomer it is probably like trying to drink from a fire-hose.

But to play devils advocate, this idea would in turn create plenty of work for the site admins as people will begin complaining about what gets linked where and "why isn't my new preservation good enough for the front page?" type junk.
