Description

On the [make.wordpress.org make] homepage, each team title could be a hyperlink to the respective team p2, as currently the only way to access each respective page is by clicking on the "learn more" link under each description.

This is certainly effective as one is obliged to understand the purpose of a team prior to arriving at their blog, however, it's also simultaneously somewhat unintuitive. Those looking to read the description will do so with or without the presence of a hyperlinked title.

There's a patch to improve this in general in #204. We could probably merge these tickets.

+1—this has been bugging me since the new homepage went live, every time I come to it I click on the "Core" header before remembering that doesn't do anything.

#204 is definitely related, but they're talking about adding a button. I think the team name should be made clickable in addition to anything done in that ticket; it's the first thing people see, and some of us will still try to click on them even if the link below is changed to a button.

Attaching a patch. Since the URL is used in two places now, I decided to use post meta instead of hardcoding it in both the post content and the title link. This lets us dynamically generate the "learn more about..." link instead of having to put it in each post.

An alternative approach would be to guess the url based on the title, since they all match except for docs, which could easily be an exception. That'd be more fragile than the meta approach, though.

There already is meta for that field, albeit not in the same format. The make_site_id holds the id number of the site. I'll use that to derive the URL instead.

Add link to title, auto-add Learn More link. props iandunn. see #223
