ComingSoon: A Distro for Collecting Pre-Launch Sign Ups

"Coming Soon" is a distribution for creating a launch site for an upcoming project, idea or business. In it's most basic sense, it's a Drupal clone of LaunchRock.com. It provides a simple signup / registration form on the homepage and unique share pages for new users. So that before the site, app or business itself actual launches, you can start to get new members. En bref, Get people interested in your project before it launches!

Summary: It will provide a default installation profile for collecting member signups and site promotion.

ComingSoon is coming soon!. Haha! It's already here actually.

ComingSoon as a project took various turns during its creation. It started as a concept in the summer of 2011 in this GDO discussion but most of the main work came during the days leading up Startup Weekend Paris in 2012, as discussed in this blog post on Drupal as a Prototyping Tool.
