Hey folks, I haven't heard back from anyone on any of this yet, I am going to need your help to get registration launched.
The one thing I really need and can only get from you is a higher quality version of the poster,can someone send it to me or update it themselves? Everything else I'll do what I can to move forward anyway:
I'm going to reach out to the thinktank to get help with testing and copy, I'm also going to go ahead and make changes to the copy on the front page, including the removal of profanity since this may cause issues for those applying for grants or answering questions
to immigration. Please let me know if you have issues with this, my intention is not to cause friction here and I'm very open to discussing this further.
I'm also going to reach out to the Spanish translators I know to try to get content translated.
Graham, the updates we talked about are now on the preview site, I know you're in Chicago but if you have a chance to check out the changes please let me know if anything
is missing or if there are further changes that you would like to see.
Cheers,
Godwin
Hey folks, the new registration process in almost ready and Graham has been helping to test however it would be great to get some more feedback and suggestions for copy changes before getting the content translated into French and Spanish. You can view the
screen captures once logged into the workbench here: https://workbench.bikecollectives.org/apps/bikebike/pages/conferences/register.
You can also test the process itself on the preview server here: https://preview-en.bikebike.org/
Feel free to create fake accounts, you can create as many as you like by inserting '+anything' before your email address' @ symbol. For example I might use goodgodwin+test1@hotmail.com, or goodgodwin+somethingelse@hotmail.com, any emails I get will be sent
to goodgodwin@hotmail.com.
A few things to keep in mind:
- PayPal payments are set up and will charge your account if you make one
- Admin tools need some updates, don't expect these to work right now but they will be working by the time you need to use them
- Questions are different depending on your answers, for example, you will be asked if you can house attendees but not be asked if you need housing if you enter your location as Winnipeg
Feel free to email me feedback, discuss it here, or comment on the workbench. If you feel like making copy changes you can also do this on the workbench in the English translations or just send me the changes that you'd like to see.
Front page
- Can we get an updated image for the poster? The one on the site is low resolution and fairly grainy.
- The language on the description contains several obscenities. Although most attendees wouldn't bat an eye at this I would suggest modifying this as there will be people of all ages and faiths that may attend and may be offended by this language. In addition,
there will be people travelling internationally and the language may make the conference appear less legitimate to border security or organizations helping to fund travel.
- When can we expect to get a Spanish translation for the conference description? I can help by contacting Spanish translators if you need help with this
- I plan to break up the conference description into more sections so that we can reduce the content on the front page and make extended details available on the conference details page. Does anyone have any issues with this?
Regarding English copy, would it be better for me to work one-on-one with someone? Would someone like to volunteer to do this?
Cheers!
