Updating the grin.mw page

On the last keybase meeting, there was a short discussion if we could add communication channels to the grin.mw page.

I (and some others) think it’d make sense to make it clear that OC is available on keybase and add a link to all things community channel which is the Grin CC page. GrinCC will always do a much better job at communicating where the community can be found than the OC will :slight_smile: this way we’d avoid duplicating links and also avoid going through OC to modify these.

@l33d4n added:

Well, adding the CC link could be a good addition but it doesn’t solve the issue that the page is completely broken, I’m not sure how sending users to another website will make it easier for them to get support or take part.

Currently these are the sections on the community page:

  1. Keybase widtget - broken
  2. Bi-weekly meetings - canceled (around 2 years ago)
  3. Grin Forum - useful but needs to be more accessible, maybe can move it to the top of the page?
  4. Mailing List - Abandoned 4 years ago, there is only one message since then

I agree there’s a few others things than just community channels to be fixed.

Here’s my vote regarding sections:

  1. Remove the keybase widget
  2. Remove bi-weekly meetings section
  3. Make Grin Forum more visible
  4. Leave the mailing list link

The mailing list, while inactive today, had some of the most productive thoughts. I’d leave it there because it still has all the history of development communication. I’m not sure if this will make the page look too empty though.

TLDR; make it apparent OC is only on keybase, remove keybase widget, remove meetings sections, make forum as visible as possible, link to grincc hub page.

What’s everyone’s opinion on this?

That is good suggestion.

Both PRs are ready for review. All changes as discussed in the CC meeting and @phyro suggestion.
