Moving on to the topic at hand. How about instead of revamping the upload
page - we create an easy to find "GETTING STARTED" page for all newbies to
commons. Maybe revamp COM:Welcome. It is wayyy too long. My screen res is
set to 1680x1050 - and it is still more than a page long.
We really need a simple page that gives the ultra short version of what
commons is (like 1 sentence). What type of pictures we accept (1
sentence). Then a "How to get started guide", preferably with picture -
which is how to signup, how to upload. Obviously we'll need lots of links to
other places, like COM:L. But at least one small page to be less
intimidating.
I've started something ''really'' brief and informal:
