Encourage non-coders to participate about previous-landing HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey @kmcurry, how does CFA handle this problem? Maybe the brigade should have been called Internet For America. Internet can be a verb, right?

from previous-landing.

We haven't really had to deal with this at CfA. From the beginning we've
had, for example, more designers following us and applying for fellowships
than coders. That said, we have been even more proactive in making
designers feel included & welcome. Hiring Angel as Designer in Residence &
Cyd Harrell as UX Evangelist are two examples.

I agree we should do more to be inclusive in our appeal on the site.
