Re: [phoenix-dev] Homepage Prototypes

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nathan,

These look real good.  Here are some thoughts:

- I agree with Mike that the screenshots are small, but I disagree that 
they aren't useful. Can we have only one screenshot, but bigger? Perhaps 
 one screenshot that is the height of both combined?

- I sort of prefer the Roles page, as it contains fewer choices. 
However, it leads to more clicks.

Thanks,

Denis
