Revamp the steps for using the app #39

Closed sivaraam closed 5 years ago

sivaraam commented 5 years ago

The steps have become obsolete over updates and haven't been updated for a long time.

Update them to reflect the current flow.

Can we remove "at this step" from the 6th step - I know it was there before but cutting it means each step fits on one line on the desktop site.

Also I think the 'next', 'next' and 'submit' steps can probably be cut to make it shorter, plus they are likely to change with the website become out of date again.

We also might want to have links to commons explaining naming policies, description guidelines, categorization and what the different licenses mean. I think links to commons would be better than us writing it out ourselves as it would remove the reduplication of effort and be more likely to be kept up to date.

That's just for the screen you saw the website on :wink: For the one I have, we would have to cut the "free at this step". But I'll remove it anyway as it seems to make the sentence too long.

That's right. May be we could make it a little more generic.

Links to commons would be good, of course. Some useful pages that I found:

@domdomegg We could add links to relevant policies and guides in another PR. Let me know if the changes are okay? For the note, I've re-phrased a sentence in Step 6 since you last approved the change.

I'd probably remove the 'thens' in 8 and 9 but think that's just personal preference.

Not a strong preference :wink: Thanks for the quick review!
