New homepage block highlighting support so far

[joedeville]

Something like:
The Open Book Collective receives ongoing support from ## institutions [calculated on a rolling basis], each subscribing to one or more of our members' Supporter Programmes. We host Supporter Programmes from ## Open Access Initiatives, including publishers who in the past 12 months have released ## books, including ## authors from ## institutions in ## different countries [data via Thoth -- I think some of this is already coded by Martin in the backend?]

Would have to be linked to #79 to be fully automated

@ajrbyers @MartinPaulEve .. this is maybe a bit of a wishlist of info.. but something like this would be really powerful I think. Any thoughts on feasibility?? the #supporters would have to pulled from the basic CRM backend we talked about. But if that's complex, we could potentially update this manually -- or could start manually and add automation later?

[MartinPaulEve]

This should be doable, but mich easier if updated manually. Pulling it from the CRM sounds possible but totally painful and with lots of scope for things to go wrong. Let me know if that's (giving the data manually) is viable.

[joedeville]

I guess adding # books # authors (which would be the most important datapoints) manually not really possible, as it will change so rapidly. # supporters certainly would be OK to do -- is a hybrid model possible? Or are some datapoints easier than others?

In discussions with Andy, suggested something could be possible in fact?
