Our homepage links to a LOT of stuff in the Material section. Consider:

  • NightCode Editor
  • Workshop Curriculum
  • Study Group Curriculum
  • Quil
  • Quil Examples
  • Coaches Training Slides

Wirklich? What's the use case for linking to the study group curriculum? Won't folks get that curriculum when they show up to the study group? Who is visiting our homepage and needs to see the coaching workshop slides? Why link to Quil here in addition to the curriculum repo?

The entire list "continue learning" seems like it tries to handle a very tough task (leading people to other sources) in a very small space, where I'm not sure people who are ready for that material are finding it.

Important info like the learner's group page is hidden in the "community" list among lower-relevance links like ClojureD.

A rethinking of this section is necessary. Several separate use cases come to mind:

  1. Materials for prospective students and coaches—these must be extremely concise
  2. Materials for continuing learners—these belong somewhere else, and should be much longer with more explanation
  3. Explanation that the learner's group exists—this should be explained directly instead of indirectly, perhaps in its own section, using prose
