General observations

• Only 20% of web users scroll "below the fold" of portal homepages 
  • There's little use for any information included below the fold
• Graphic elements are nice
  • Opposed to other systems, DSpace homepages are relatively "dry".
    

DCAT discussion preparation

This request touches more broadly on the look & feel of a DSpace frontpage and the essence can be broken down into 3 questions:-

1. Ideally, which features should be offered on the DSpace homepage?

   ...

   1. 1. Should all of these features be standard & fixed, or should an admin be able to enable or disable some of them?

   ...

   1. Which tools or modus operandi should an administrator use to alter the homepage?
