Engagement model

First contact

• map of first contacts --> pathways: http://publiclab.org/wiki/first-encounters
  • folks find out about Public Lab through: our kits, our web presence and social media, press coverage, heard about from a person, Kickstarter campaign, evangelism(?)

• content directed at certain types of stakeholders? reference from Sugar Labs

• website front page issues:

  • too much information, lacks community presence/identity, not synthesized
