RE: [phoenix-dev] New Homepage / User Page Prototypes

+1 to Pillars on User page.

Ideas -
	- Add another Ring?
 	- Add a graphic link to a Pillars page, and put a graphic/link to
the right of "Resources" and call it "Pillars" and the Pillars page has the
same rings graphic background but with pillar links.
	- Just link the 5 graphics/links below the orbits as they are laid
out on the current homepage.

But then again, I'm no design guru.

I don't think were saying we need these pages on the homepage.   Users /
Members / Ecosystem is just a different way of breaking those down.  Our
Users / Members / and Ecosystem all fit into different topics / categories /
pillars.

These pages are quite popular and losing them entirely is a step in the
wrong direction.  I think the users page is where they need to end up, as
they are targeted to the users.  I'll start thinking of ways to add them in
there, anyone got any suggestions before I get to far?

So weren't we replacing those with the new pages for the various 
relationships: users, members, etc?
