Voter Journey Text Requires Update #236

Closed yrabun closed 3 years ago

yrabun commented 3 years ago

At this page of the site - https://www.fivefifthsvoter.com/#/votersupport

The following wording appears at the bottom:

Each voter’s journey is different. Five Fifths Voter can put you on the right path to reclaiming voter confidence. Please visit our support channels to help guide you.

I recommend we update it to read:

Each voter’s journey is different. Five Fifths Voter is designed to put you on the right path to help reclaim voter confidence.

For this sentence:

Please visit our support channels to help guide you.

What support channels are we referring to here? Should this be hyperlinked somewhere or do we need to delete this reference?

I agree with this language change. @upkarlidder can we replace the following

Each voter’s journey is different. Five Fifths Voter can put you on the right path to reclaiming voter confidence. Please visit our support channels to help guide you.

with

Each voter’s journey is different. Five Fifths Voter is designed to put you on the right path to help reclaim voter confidence. Please visit the Five Fifths Voter Github repo to explore the future of this opensource project and Call for Code for Racial Justice.

Framing of this line is tricky in that it may differ for different implementations significantly. Are this github repo and developer IBM needed for the statement as there are referenced by each other maybe we only need one?

ui/src/plugins/en.json "supportDesc": "Each voter’s journey is different. {0} can put you on the right path to reclaiming voter confidence. Please visit {1} for more information on {0}.",

@yrabun I agree that the wording may be a bit misleading where it is placed. When I initially wrote the script, I thought it would be placed above the links. The term "support channels" was in reference to the resource links shown on the page.

I do like @Sabine-Justilien suggestion; I think in the future, when we create a "get connected" tab, it may be better placed there.

@GeraldMit thank you for highlighting that; i think the differentiation is that the cfcrj link takes users to information on the project and organization at large, while the Github repo shows the technical interface. I think we could play with the wording but I think both have value to include.

Current Language:

Each voter’s journey is different. Five Fifths Voter can put you on the right path to reclaiming voter confidence. Please visit our support channels to help guide you.

replace with

Each voter’s journey is different. Five Fifths Voter is designed to put you on the right path to help reclaim voter confidence.

This sentence should follow after "Resources are available to help you" and before the hotlinks

@GeraldMit @yrabun @aleggett23 Taking out the last sentence around support channels since this isn't a current capability and redirecting to the GH may further confuse someone. We do have phone numbers that people can call if they are experiencing voter issues which we can add to a 'Get Connected' section.

@Sabine-Justilien I think this can be closed. Upkar implemented this one.

LGTM - the language will be updated and issue #253 will continue the conversation on a new tab for getting connected.
