Welcome UI

[benrito]

Need something that explains what's going on.

@traceypooh:

The basic idea is to make the editor look like it's "ready" and usable. I think we can address this by:

1. making a simple, explanatory landing page at archive.org/pop (currently it's a sample project embed). I can do a first pass at this; is there a framework or style guide to look native to archive.org?
2. adding the archive header / menubar at archive.org/pop/editor.html, or making the Popcorn editor an iframe in the usual site wide UI
3. consider changing the welcome text that appears for new users (see attachment)

Thoughts?

From #69, which I want to close but can't:

Just some advice that the URL namespace can be improved for accessing the editor.

It is currently available at: http://archive.org/pop/editor.html which is not very memorable, prone to typos, and too long to communicate verbally or on a billboard.

My suggestion would be http://archive.org/editor since that URL is available, and the tool is being rebranded as the TV News Editor.

Alternatively you could shorten the current URL and have it at http://archive.org/pop - which right now hosts an old Mozilla Ted Talk.

last thing @traceypooh : do we want to replace the popcorn icon where it appears in the bottom right player with the archive icon? it already links to archive.org (but maybe should link to archive.org/pop)

yah, seems like a fair idea.
so idea would be, effectively, have
archive.org/pop
go to the editor instead of the embed/player (that's quite easy).
should there be some basic project? or just your FTUX / "coaching" style stuff like from
#issuecomment-248404323 above?

What do you think?

I’m for simplifying the URL, but to me the question is whether /editor URL should:

1. take you straight to the editor

2. serve as a “landing page” with some useful links (branding, tutorial, sample projects)

Also, should we add an archive.org navigation bar to the editor itself?
