welcoming users
Two things highlighted during the curation sprint and that could be relatively easily improved to "welcome" users:
- Sign in screen: it is not clear for a new comer what local accounts are used for. Would it be possible to modify the short sentence that is already there with something like "Sign in with a local account is used by maintainers to manage the website"
I would also be in favour of adding at the bottom of the "sign in" block another "or" option with something like "Having trouble with the sign in process, contact the SSH Open Marketplace team " or something similar.
- Dashboard screen: would it be possible to add a few welcoming sentences on "My account" screen?
- Proposal for contributors: “Dear contributor to the SSH Open Marketplace, welcome to the curation dashboard of the SSH Open Marketplace! You can find here the list of items you have contributed to as well as the list of your draft items. Now that you are logged in, you can create and edit items. Please consult the contributors guidelines (/contribute) if you need to be guided in the process.”
- Proposal for moderators: “Dear moderator of the SSH Open Marketplace, welcome to the curation dashboard! As any contributor, you can find here the list of items you have contributed to as well as the list of your draft items. Because of your moderator status, you can also access the list of items to moderate and manage the actors referenced in the Marketplace. Please consult the contribute pages (/contribute) if you need some guidance.”
- Proposal for administrators: “Dear administrator of the SSH Open Marketplace, welcome to the curation dashboard! As any contributor, you can find here the list of items you have contributed to as well as the list of your draft items. As any moderator, you can also access the list of items to moderate and manage the actors referenced in the Marketplace. And because of your administrator status, you can also manage sources and users. Please consult the contribute pages (/contribute) if you need some guidance.
@edward.gray what do you think? could you check the wording?
@stefan.probst, what do you think? would it be possible to implement such things?
