Contribute page
The contribution page is now live!
This thread is a place to share any feedback on the mechanics of how the page is working.
It was even ahead of schedule!! I'm really really pleased to see this happen. Roll out next phase of comms - we're open for business !!
So can the page text work as a regular pop-up? @vivien suggested there might be already a strategy on how often or regularly users are reminded. I have some thoughts on 'why' people will want to contribute but it depends on what the consequences are if they don't. Is there a development thread on this already running?
@sophiejerram not quite open for business, we need to get the subscription track ready first. Design for that started yesterday, e.g. check out this mockup.
There's no clear strategy on when exactly users are prompted to contribute, but here's what I'm thinking off the top of my head:
- when setting up a new group (gentle prompt)
- when setting up a new account (gentle prompt)
- after a user is really engaged with the tool (heavier prompt)
- periodic campaigns directed at users + the general public, e.g. to fund a specific part of development.
@richarddbartlett that link is not working??
@matthewbartlett somehow that link is still not working not sure what that's about.
Sorry about that Sophie. The feature is under development now, and you can see it (slightly out of date), here.
I'm not sure how hard these suggestions are to implement, but these are the first thoughts that come to mind for me:
