[Marketing] (Re) Introduction and proposed effort

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks for joining us Scott, and welcome!

While Brian has shared the getting started page, you can see that it is
serving many different target audience (new members, new service providers,
and so on).

The actual new member sign up page is very much in need of help:
https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create

While I was able to make some improvements in early January to workflow
(order of things to do on the page now matches the order are they
presented, the "mantra" is now explained as a short phrase, "enter mantra"
and "continue" replaced the small "ॐ" button, etc...), ...  Improvements
are not a "rethink" which is where I hope your strengths are directed :)

The page is still serving many competing needs with different levels of
complexity and is not setup to welcome new users.

I very much look forward to your thoughts on this! (And I may just be
having the assumption that this page was where you found trouble based on
my recent experience trying to sign up new users).
