→Phase One Webs Site Overview & Goals
*“'''Show people what we mean'''.” Explain what Mozilla Drumbeat is and where it’s headed -- primarily through powerful examples and human stories that illustrate the overall concept and show rather than tell.
*'''Showcase compelling a) IDEAS, b) PEOPLE and c) ACTION for PROJECTS making the web better'''. These are the three major content streams, and the heart of the site.
*'''Crowdsource great new content'''. Make it easy for others to submit their own ideas, people and actions, using templates and workflow we provide. This is a key priority for Phase One -- we want to create a great container that models the kind of stuff we’re looking for, and make it easy for others to start feeding their own ideas, people and action into it.
*'''Showcase and get people excited about a big upcoming EVENT''': Drumbeat Istanbul in June 2010. Make it sexy and trumpet key values: genius ideas, rubbing shoulders with the web’s leading lights, and the prospect of Internet “fame and fortune.”
''In addition, the Phase One site will:''
*Encourage the best content to float to the top. Get an early sense of which THEMES, IDEAS, PROJECTS & PEOPLE & ACTION have the most traction and interest with our audiences. Use a simple voting & reviewing layer (probably Digg) to make this easy.
*Showcase LOCAL events and action, primarily in the form of short, Ignite-style presentations. Trumpet the big Istanbul event at the center -- but also local events and opportunities for participation around the edges and in your community. Should feel like a global community.
*Capture a “co-opetive” spirit and flavor.
