Should we include the promo video in the docs? #50

Open jkhartshorne opened 4 years ago

jkhartshorne commented 4 years ago

It's hard for me to watch this video without noticing the things I wished I had had time to do. So I leave it to you to decide whether it's useful enough that it should be linked to (embedded in?) the docs. Maybe ask for Parker's and Megan's opinions as well.

Although I really like the idea of a video like this, since it mentions the forum etc. isn't integrated just yet, we might forget to remove/change the intro video after doing so. I think it makes sense to leave it out for now, but maybe we can leave this issue open in case we have a new video down the road? In the meantime I'm adding a quick 1-sentence explanation (from the workshop site) on what Pushkin is since the docs don't really say!

Sounds good!

This was discussed recently, and it was agreed that a video is too difficult to maintain given the current pace of changes.

I think the promo video doesn't go into details, just explains what it's good for. The question is where it is. This will require some hunting around in the Basecamp, most likely.

Someone should dig it up and see if it's still sufficiently up-to-date to include.

Looking at this again, I think it could go on our About Pushkin page or a new page under "About" like "Why Pushkin?". I would just note there that it's a little dated, but the reasoning for why to use a citizen-science approach over an online labor market is still applicable. We could also add some of this info in text form. We already have a lot good copy on the reasons for Pushkin's existence in the form of funding applications and abstracts. It seems reasonable to put some of that on the website.

Relatedly, when we were evaluating different docs tools, I appreciated that Material for MkDocs has an Alternatives section. Perhaps this could serve a similar purpose?
