The homepage was recently edited. I don’t like the edit and would like to rewrite it. I also don’t want to get into an editing war with other people. So if you would like to collaborate on the new front page and what you might want to see on it, the document is here:
I’m unsure how much info we want to put on the LW home page (I’m leaning towards less stuff is better). Are there good repositories / intro pages where we could put the rest of the info?
Also, made a few edits / comments for readability and flow on the doc.

The previous front page can be found here:

I am thinking we might want to emphasise (in not any order):
local meetups
discussion board + ongoing activity
global map of users (zeemaps)
lesswrong slack
lesswrong IRC
a brief history of lesswrong
the sequences and HPMOR
our friends and their blogs (mindingourway, agentyduck)
offshoots businesses, organisations and groups (EA, CFAR, MIRI, Beeminder, Complice, Mealsquares)
some other memetic ideas we follow (cryonics, transhumanism, AI, Programming, rational fiction)
some kind of list of rat-houses around the world.
the latest welcome thread
Thanks for putting this together!

Agree with most of your edits.
