Upcoming Blockstack Site

One thing the community has been debating on the hero page is that we have only one link to join the community and that link being to get invited to the Slack channel. I feel that we should have a secondary link to join the forum as well. I feel the forum is just as important as the Slack channel. Especially for those in other time zones such as yourself.

The forum should be pushed as more important than slack for the following reasons:

• The forum is open source & public - blockstack is open source and public
• We’ll be able to integrate blockstack technologies into the forum, ie. log in w/ blockchain id - slack is proprietary so we can’t change it
• Forum is indexable and will serve as a reference for community culture/history. Slack chat history disappears into Slack.

I’d also hesitate to put slack’s logo on the site. I don’t think they need our marketing help.

“Blockstack”, “Open Source”, “Blockchain” to imprint our mission into our audiences subconscious.

Seems a bit wordy - is there a non-open source blockchain community?

Could the following work?

Blockstack.
