Given how effective our post-download pop up is on the web site, I think that using our first open page to 'speak' to our users is definitely something to resurrect. It would be great to provide: * a list of recent projects (as we have now) * a list of recent blog articles from planet.qgis.org * a list of current crowd funding projects and their funding progress * a panel for us to directly send notifications to users e.g. 'QGIS 2.14.7 is out, please upgrade!' * links for funding and sponsoring QGIS I think it is also worth speaking to Nyall about his crowd funding experiences - last I chatted to him he had some doubts as to whether it is a really effective tool at the moment. Perhaps getting the publicity on the app opening view might fix that....
