Ideas for the Become a Publisher page #1927

(Thoughts from the room at a session at the midterm meetings.)

There were suggestions that:

The page is unfriendly, as it immediately refers to GBIF policy on endorsement etc. Could the "First, please see..." box be moved to the top?
Could the page be reworded to be more friendly?
Could some text for citizen scientists be added?
What about offering to contact institutions on behalf of a researcher who is on this page? Some might be put off by a head of faculty or similar contact on their organization's page.

Another suggestion I received (but not during the midterm meetings) is: when institutions are in GRSciColl, it would be nice to be able to select them in order to pre-fill the publisher template. Does it make sense?
