https://webmaker.org/en-US/about We should update the mission statement here with the refined vision for the Teacher audience. It should mention and link to the Web Literacy Map [webmaker.org/literacy] Could even provide the teaching kit resources mentioned by CLAW in bug 981978 comment 4: * Popcorn: https://mozteach.makes.org/thimble/popcorn-teaching-kit * Thimble: https://mozteach.makes.org/thimble/thimble-teaching-kit * X-Ray Goggles: https://mozteach.makes.org/thimble/xray-goggles-teaching-kit FYI, we may want to link to this page from the Explore MVP, so speediness is appreciated. Putting this on Erica to start for revised copy, feel free to reassign as needed.

Note: I see the page already does mention Web Literacy. Maybe we want to make it more prominent? Should we also cross-link from this page to Get-involved?
Love this, thanks Cassie Should we throw copy ticket to Studio MOFO?
Yeah, just realized Erica is on PTO so throwing to the other Erika :)

You read my mind...I was just looking at this page yesterday and thinking it needs a refresh. I'll add this to my queue. What's the deadline to hook up with the Explore MVP?

We want some incarnation of /explore to go up next Friday Mar 21 so this would need to be done a day or two ahead of time so we can make the text changes on that page. But, We CAN link up this page before updates are done if you're swamped.

Unblocking bug 982648. Related, but not critical.

* Agree that this needs doing -- but is it really a blocker for /explore? * I'd vote for uncoupling it. We have a lot of copywriting work to do -- copy for /explore landing page, plus a ton of copywriting I'll need to help with in terms of copy review and polish for all the individual kits themselves. * and also: current /about is really not that bad. It could use sprucing up, but it's not egregious.
* sorry should have clarified: goes without saying that if Studio Mofo wants to rock this work and get it done fast, you'll get no complaints from me! :) Just wanted to mention that from perspective, it's not a blocker for /explore

+1 to uncoupling for now. Let's park updating /About copy until further notice. Thanks, all.

Marking this as resolved - won't fix due to revised, learner-focused plans for Webmaker in 2015.
