Feedback of reviewers showed, that the start page needs to be re-thought, e.g. to make the start page more lively.

Especially the "last added" was not seen as very useful. Instead there were ideas to show "Recommended" or an "Editors' picks" section.

Also there was some critic on the browse function. One idea by @matej.durco is to show instead the first five items of selected facets prominent on the start page (maybe directly below the search bar and move the background image somewhere else).

There was also a remark that the background image should show more diversity and that the landmarks are too stereotypical. Additionally, the description labels ("Researchers in political science") seems to be unnecessary.

Looks like a more general issue, how we can rearrange the information on the start page. This may also include information on curation or information for the community.

@wytrazek @lbarbot @matej.durco @stefan.probst @frank.fischer01 @clara.petitfils - if you have ideas and comments, please add them here, also please add further debaters.
