To make things as frictionless as possible, we can use Twitter-Auth aka "Login with Twitter", this will be used both for manager accounts (people creating campaigns) as well as for users (people proposing ideas / topics / pictures and voting).

Campaign Home page for a logged in user would be similar to our current voting / submission system

- Only positive votes (no downvotes)

- Comments are posted directly to twitter with a preset hash tag

- Proposed By User name and picture taken directly from Twitter - (we don't even host the image, but just rely on Twitters servers)

User prompted to Login with Twitter to Propose a Session or Vote on proposals

- User can login from campaign home or from individual page

- All Proposals have permalinks

Example page of what the Campaign Homepage would be - manager can login with Twitter to save the campaign - will auto-enroll them in the "Free / Basic" level.

This is the page linked to from the "Start Now" button on the site homepage

Only 2 fields to get started:

1. Name your Campaign

2. Set subdomain CAMPAIGN_NAME.crowdcampaign.com

Future: we would have a list of preset campaign "types"

- Call for Submission (paper, session, etc.)
- Photo Contest
- Video Contest
- Battle of the Bands

Choosing one of the campaign types would pre-populate with a more specific examples of what should be done.

Layout changes (for example a gallery style photo browser) would also take place with the different campaign types

Important to note that the user is not logged in here, they can create a campaign just to test it out.
