I suggest changing the text/options on the step 7 of “hosted conversion only” (+demo) to:
"
This MDT installation is not enabled for publishing directly to GBIF.org (Make this different – as a header or bold, or something)
(And then three equally formatted “link options”)
Ready to publish a dataset? Reach out to the administrator for assistance. [Link to mail template - see below]
Need help with using this MDT? Contact the administrator directly. [mailto link to admin]
Have general questions about GBIF publishing? Get in touch with helpdesk@GBIF.org
(The administrator of the demo would then be DNA@GBIF.org or helpdesk - tbd.)
