Social page needs some splash and attention grabbing information.

Need FAQ Need new user guide Need DINO creation page

Some notes on how I think we should change the welcome page on beaversource:

Main frame

• Welcome message
• While you were out: (whats happened since last login time)
  • For each of your projects:
    • # of commits, wiki edits, ticked submissions/close, commits
    • 1 line listing of each ticked assigned/reported by user that has had a status change
  • Same for each community (blog entries, membership change, public files)
  • Same for friends (new friends, new projects, new communities, new blog entries, public files)

  • 5 names based on relationships (friend of friends)

We should have a request dino link from beaversource login page. Link to ONID account services if they cant log in.

Need a Help Tab on top nav bar that takes you to documentation page

(In [288]) re #2728 Adding "Help" button to topbar

The 'people you might know' feature could probably be handled by this Elgg plugin: http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/pedroprez/read/23302/people-you-might-know
