Subject: Proposal to eliminate Communities dropdown
Hi Kadir,
I propose making the Communities link in the menu no longer contain a dropdown. Instead, when visitors click on Communities, they would land on a page with two sections: "Learn about the Tech Speakers Program" and "Learn more about Mozilla staff supporting developers and Mozilla products and technologies"
I'd most prefer to do that with a featured items section (but without the title featured) so these two things can appear next to each other and have cards associated with them.
I've determined that I can add a button to the tech speaker program page linking to a filtered version of the directory displaying only tech speakers.
If you approve, I'll create three tickets, one for the dev on the communities page (Steve), one for the change to the menu (me), and one for the change to the tech speaker page (me).
I cannot make a stakeholder argument for this, I just think it would be more extensible for the future (and more aesthetically pleasing now).
We could always decide after asking Steve how hard it would be to add a featured section to the Communities page. As this is provided for in Wagtail and already an option on the Topics pages, I assume this won't involve intensive development. You can already add one featured item to the Events page in any case.
Warm regards,Val

We can chop around page-content options any way you need, really - that's what's handy about Wagtail, rather than a no-code CMS--

That is indeed most excellent. Would it take more than two hours?

Probably less than two

Awesome! I'd say go ahead unless Kadir says no. Although this is outside the sprint, I know.
