These sound like great changes. If you change the URL, also be sure to not delete the old URL -- make sure it redirects to the new one and is maintained. We have given many presentations, training courses, posters, and blog articles of the years that give /submit
as the key URL, and we don't want it to 404 for people following those links from earlier materials. This is true of other key URLs that point to our resources as well.
After the folder view comes out in December, it would help to update the submission guidelines page with information about preserving folder structure and justification for our policy on zip files.
Data Submissions Guidelines page can be found here.
General ideas:
[ ] Edit the URL such that it is no longer
https://arcticdata.io/submit/
, but something more appropriate/descriptive likehttps://arcticdata.io/submission-guidelines/
[ ] The page itself is a bit hard to digest, visually. I think it would be beneficial to restructure the page in a fashion similar to the Data Ethics page, or pretty much any other page really.
[ ] In the re-design, I think we should include more explicit links to the data ethics page, as well as to one of the data submission walkthroughs from the courses. There's a link to the submission walk-through, but it's at the very bottom of the page under "Submission Tools". It makes sense there, but it might be worth adding a button at the top of the page as well for a more direct user experience.
