The website hasn't been updated for a couple of years. It's is a work-in-progress and it looks that way.

However, if we search "humane tech" or "humane tech community" in a search engine, the website (humanetech.community) appears before the forum (community.humanetech.com) in results. I therefore feel a duty to ensure that the landing experience is helpful to visitors.

I can see that previously, there were grand aspirations for the website. These included a podcast, blog, activities and events, resources, directory of people etc. It was a maximalist approach, which with the benefit of hindsight was not realistic when the community are only volunteers.

I suggest a shift to a minimalist approach. For the most part, we should direct people to the forum which is at least somewhat active. Unless someone can commit time to add completed sections to the website, we should remove anything that is "under construction".

I don't immediately have time to implement such changes, but I just wanted to raise the suggestion for now. If agreed, I may find time later or someone else could do this.
