Update coords documentation re. id for donated transcriptions from external bodies / individuals #1177

Closed Captainkirkdawson closed 6 years ago

Captainkirkdawson commented 7 years ago

Same coordinators and managers can create a userid. What should be the entry for the Open data agreement. To be consistent must it be accepted. If so the manager is "committing:" the transcriber. Is this appropriate?

Perfect!

edickens commented 6 years ago

My only comment is that we explain the benefits to the researcher, but not the benefits to the donor. If the donor was say someone who is maintaining the Church website, then they would like to see people contacting them for the local advice that is mentioned, but we do not say that we can provide that link so that researchers know how to contact them.

edickens commented 6 years ago

In the Coordinators version you mention Steve and myself by name. I think it better to just say "Contact the Executive". Any member of the Executive should be able to point the Coordinator to whoever can convert formats.

PatReynolds commented 6 years ago

"The executive" was disliked as it is too difficult to interpret. We could name specific roles.

edickens commented 6 years ago

This is in the Coordinators Help so they should know, and the Executive is referred to further on under "Pass on permissions".

PatReynolds commented 6 years ago

"Pass on permissins" should be to the Executive Director (now corrected on live). Let me know if I need to correct on tests.

I agree with Eric D. people's names should not be used in instructions - only the Post Name should be referred to - else you have to keep changing them everything a fast is reallocated even if only temporarily.

PatReynolds commented 6 years ago

Someone seems to have changed Eric and Steve to 'Executive'. Can we have "Chair or Team member responsible for Coordinators and Transcriptions"? "Executive" is variously understood as meaning "The Trustees", "The Executive Director", "The Trustees + Executive Director", "The FreeREG management team" and "The FreeREG chair" so I think we should avoid it everywhere.

That'd be me.

Corrected (all errors) on live.

Will copy to test sites once everyone is happy. (I have no idea of the state/age of the files on the test sites, as I have not been required to update them until recently. I don't want to do more copying than necessary, especially as I could have to re-insert images, because the long string after the name could be different.)

SteveBiggs commented 6 years ago

Should the contact details of relevant members of the executive be listed somewhere on the website? I'm sure there are still some volunteers who don't know who is the Chair or "the Team member responsible for Coordinators and Transcriptions". Perhaps these could be made into clickable links to my and EricD's email addresses? I know these will change when others take over, but that's also true of the Exec Director and Project Manager who are named in the help pages.

AlOneill commented 6 years ago

OK — images are not going to be a problem (I was remembering a time when they weren't in sync. Very glad that has changed!)

The two pages on the test sites are are a fair bit out of date.

edickens commented 6 years ago

On FR1 we had capture but it never go updated regularly.

PatReynolds commented 6 years ago

Thanks, all. I've created new stories re. copying back and having the team structure (etc.) page re-created.
