People landing page

Tweak "People" landing page

• Second iteration:
  • Use same basic right-hand search column. To filter and find people.
  • Click and un-click interest, skill & project tag buttons to easily filter.
  • e.g.:
    • "Show me everyone who cares about privacy and has graphic design skills."
    • "Show me all the project leads."
    • "Show me everyone working on Privacy Icons project AND Universal Subtitles.", etc.

Questions:

• Right-hand search column. Finalize what should be included.
  • Role
    • Project lead, project contributor, etc.
  • Interests / topics / passions
    • e.g., privacy, standards, open video
  • Skills

  • Projects
    • "Show me everyone working on privacy icons AND Web Made Movies."
    • Can we feasibly include ALL projects? Just featured and rising? Drop-down?
  • Geography?
