            Bug ID: 54740
           Summary: Make main page of git.wikimedia.org more useful
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Git/Gerrit

I'm not sure about others, but every time I visit <https://git.wikimedia.org/>,
I find the experience less than satisfying.

Due to the high rate of activity, the "recent activity" feed is never helpful
to me. If I wanted that, I'd visit <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org>. What I
really want is a list of repositories, so I end up clicking over to
<https://git.wikimedia.org/repositories/>.

The main page already contains a list of repositories, but it's a truncated
list of the most recently active repos or something. I'd like to give some
further thought to whether this overall user experience can be improved.
Thoughts:

* perhaps auto-redirect from https://git.wikimedia.org/ to
https://git.wikimedia.org/repositories/ (does anyone use the dashboard?)

* perhaps specify a different home page in GitBlit's settings (is this
possible?)

* perhaps expand the list of recently active repos to be longer (not sure if
there's a setting for this in GitBlit, but if so, this is probably the easiest
path to resolution)
