      While "People" View provides some interesting functionality, currently its
      purpose and intent is unclear for new users, confusing them.

      From Vladimir:
      "I was wondering about it for a while too. Definitely, some description
      needs to be there (or some other usability trick).

      But as soon as my projects started to be built when new source changes
      were detected, that empty page started to fill up with engineer names
      who performed the changes. Actually, the page is pretty useful, you
      could see what changes engineers did and in which builds they are
      (changes, not engineers) present.

      Also, for every engineer a separate Page is created where said engineer
      could adjust his e-mail address, and then (I guess) that address could
      be used to send notifications to the engineer when his changes break
      the build.

      So, the features are pretty cool, just not very easily discoverable."

      From Kohsuke:
      "Indeed. I guess I can either hide the link until there's some
      information in that page, or generate a text until the first user
      appears (kinda like how we have 'welcome' page) and link to a documentation."

          [JENKINS-162] Unclear what is 'People' View for

          I removed people link until it has something to show, so that people are
          gradually exposed to features.

          The only concern is that several people reported that they don't see anything
          even though they do have builds and changelogs recorded, so this might mask some
          bugs.
