"Curated calendars" block is confusing in intent #1911

What's the issue?

I am finding this section really hard to understand. I feel like it is either:

  1. About curated calendars, in which case I would expect it to tell me what a curated calendar is and why I would want one - currently this is unexplained terminology
  2. A case study of the Trans Dimension specifically

As it currently sits I feel like it's doing neither well. As the second thing you see on the home page I find it very confusing. Why is this information here? How does it relate to PlaceCal? Why should I care?

If it was option 1, the content would explain the terminology, show what was possible, and explain why it matters.

If it was option 2, I think it needs to give the meta explanation of the project - who we worked with and what the goal was.

Suggested fixes

For option 1 - i think it needs a total rewrite as it's not selling curated calendars to me atm

For option 2 - i would redo as following:

“I am delighted to see the advent of The Trans Dimension. It’s just what the trans community needs. As an organiser of a trans meetup group myself I couldn’t believe how many events were happening each week, most of which I’d never heard of before. This is a great resource and a super way to stay up to date. I can’t wait to see how this evolves in the future.” Ray Lavery, London Transgender Meetup
