I would like to replace the vimeo video by my own video in the open scholar front page. Where should I edit? Sorry, I am new to drupal

There are a few of approaches
There are a few of approaches here (and maybe others I haven't thought of):
You could create a page or a view with your own design for the frontpage and then go to admin/settings/site-information and change the default front page setting
You could create a block at admin/build/block and then edit/override the sitewide_front context at admin/build/context/list to include your block. When you edit that view you'll see that there are a few blocks in there that make up the front page, including a block called "OpenScholar: Video Info" This block is generated by code (I think) and so it can't be edited through the Drupal UI.
A more technical approach might involve working directly with the openscholar_front feature, but that might be a bit much.
No matter what approach you take, if you are very new to drupal, I think a good place to start would be working with key things like CCK and views. From there a knowledge of contexts and features is very helpful in understanding how to customize Open Scholar.
Hope this helps!
For the change to frontpage
For the change to frontpage in admin/settings/site-information default front page setting, I have actually ran into issues when changing that to a different front page. For some reason when doing this the scholar sites created underneath could not handle their own default 'front page'.
Anyway I hope this can be helpful..
Thanks,
Jason
@jbkc85-gdo it should be much
@jbkc85-gdo it should be much better in the new version we just released.
Thanks!
