From c41f3cea07a97c0b52613c3eaee583a6a83ae766 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Roos Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 17:08:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Link to forum instead of mailing list We don't have a process to ensure that emails to our internal list (contact@coops.tech) are replied to in a timely manner/at all. At the moment we appear to have 5 legitimate emails from the 13 March that don't appear to have replies. I hope that encouraging people to post to the forum will increase the chance that they receive a reply. I think there are further improvements we can make, by clarifying the joining process for example, but this is a good enough start. --- _config.yml | 2 +- _layouts/default.html | 2 +- about.md | 3 +-- index.html | 6 +++--- 4 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/_config.yml b/_config.yml index b52c7c3..a5fcb6a 100644 --- a/_config.yml +++ b/_config.yml @@ -43,5 +43,5 @@ defaults: type: technologies values: layout: technology -contact_email: contact@coops.tech +forum: https://community.coops.tech/ mapbox_access_token: pk.eyJ1IjoiY290ZWNoIiwiYSI6ImNpemgxbzhwODAwMHMzM28zdXF3cGxyYmwifQ.9nPExuEUqwblCCl-6gyFXA diff --git a/_layouts/default.html b/_layouts/default.html index e8a625d..85bbe63 100644 --- a/_layouts/default.html +++ b/_layouts/default.html @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@
