I really like it: 2 buttons, one to participate, one to read about the project, the video … - makes it very simple, very easy to read, accessible for anyone.
I just noticed one thing: the proposal is the submitted version, but not the official description of the project (WP numbers are old, the coordinator has changed, etc.). The correct version is available under opencare > proposal -final > opencare_DoA.pdf
The work is much appreciated guys, and I do hope it will help engagement.
Should we consider translating it into more languages? (Italian, French…?)
As to the format, I’m looking forward to testing. Previously we tested pages on Edgeryders for conversion into signups or creating new posts with Google Analytics Experiments. For every page you want to test, it creates a tracker code that you need to copy and paste into every test web page. But they were all on Edgeryders.eu, so we’ll need to look into how it could work.
Nothing more to add. Except: we are reluctant to change material already finished, like the video. Reopening it would be slow and expensive, and it seems to be working well enough.
I think I explained this before. RIgorous testing (while keeping things easier) requires Content Experiments. I am not sure CE accepts to randomize between two pages on two different domains, we can try. For starters, you should follow the Google Analytics instructions to put into your landing page the HTML the tracking code we already use for Edgeryders, which is UA-4275556-5. Then we can try to set up the experiment. If Google refuses to process, we cannot test. That was my main objection to using GitHub from day 1.
EDIT: it seems to be doable. I sent @Costantino the instructions to add Google Analytics tracking code to GitHub. However, now Analytics raises a warning (I already created an experiment and put the tracking code into the Drupal OpenCare home). Our best bet is to try and see.
I stopped the experiment manually, since it was not tracking. We get a warning from Drupal and an error from Github. The instructions said to try anyway, and I did, but no joy.
I don’t think it’s worth spending time to fix this stuff. We were aware that putting the landing page on a different website was likely to get in the way of analytics.
Does it mean it is hopeless to think we can indeed use the proposed landing page? What I understand is it would have to be hosted on EdgeRyders website and part of Drupal – am I right?
Would the landing page be a good place where to hold links to milestones, or to docs relating with the data management? Or at least host a link to another page listing those?
