I'm not sure. There are two ways to go about it. I really love the intro.js, but I'm not sure if it can fully capture everything we want to capture. My main concern with intro is this: Will the focus will be on the navigation and aspects of a the page/UI rather than capturing the essence of hubski and how to make it work for you. I know my writeup isn't the best at capturing this yet but I hope we can create something that really boils down the experience of hubski - the following of people, the building of relationships, the serendipitous findings of new things and original content that comes with following people over a forum based on one topic, etc. I think the JS is well done and pretty, but can it capture these things as it points out the elements? I am in no way 100% attached to slides and won't be insulted if none of this gets used. I just want someway to introduce new users to the site thats inviting and captures what hubski is all about and allows new users to be guided a little bit so they don't just see a wall of text and peace out. Perhaps we can take a look at the intro.js and find a way to integrate more of the bigger picture as well as the specific elements.
I like the idea of pointing out different functionalities on Hubski. What the hub wheel is, how to share a post etc. These are all things that people may not automatically know. What I think may be dangerous is telling someone how to use Hubski beyond submitting a post etc. Different people use Hubski differently.
What if when people joined, the first thing they experience is the tag wall or whatever it's called? Then, maybe once they start clicking on threads, say, #science or something and they see some user names pop-up more than once, for example, insomniasexx a suggestion could appear that they follow insomniasexx since the new user seems to be interested in some of the same things? Basically, what if the features kind of revealed themselves to the user as they begin to use hubski? If the user hasn't tried something yet then maybe the user could receive a notification or a mail or something?
