What a person cannot do today

Give a visitor something to read before signing in. The console's root answers only signed-in members; a deployment that has no separate website sends visitors straight to a sign-in form with no explanation of what they are signing in to.

What they should be able to do

Configure a welcome page at the root for signed-out visitors, naming the deployment, describing what it offers, and linking to sign-up and sign-in, with an optional field to leave an email before registration opens.

Why it matters

Not every deployment has a website, and the sign-in form is a poor first contact.

Where

The unauthenticated root route, the deployment's instance settings for the page's text.

Done when

A signed-out visitor to the root sees a configurable welcome page; a signed-in one sees their dashboard as before.
