We should confirm the new role/crew arrangement so I can update the sign up form in sync with these changes.

I welcome anyone's thoughts on the changes. I'm especially wondering how you feel about me naming you folks as contacts, @jjasghar, @nonprofittechy, @samglover? Also, I created a new team: SuffolkLITLab/dal-reviewers. We can discuss that during the week. It's meant to be a way for volunteers to request a review for the PRs they made.

Also ran into an error whenever switching to any pages:
error_windows_gtag

The section's 3 pages:

  • Sign up, intro, and current organizer focus
  • Resources - links and information to help volunteers get things done.
  • Flows - Instructions and links to help volunteers, especially organizers... get things done (e.g. onboarding, issue closing processes, etc.)

From discussion with @samglover and @CaroRob, made changes to the crews that we'll have to reflect in the sign up interview. Named crews are folks needing a particular domain knowledge: Organizers, Legal SMEs, Builders, and Translators. Other roles are in Other. Would love your thoughts on this, @BryceStevenWilley, as you had good input in written discussions.

Sections on the "flows" page start as open, but are collapsible. May reuse this model on other pages if it proves useful.

I've left some comments in place that we can talk about, like sections that currently have no content and the possibilities of tabs. I’m leery of tabs because one can only see the content of one tab at a time. I tend to find that annoying and I’m not sure that’s necessary in this case. It does cut down on page length.

@plocket need to fix broken URLs before this can be merged

gtag - implies an issue with Google Tag Manager. Not sure how we're using that, but maybe @samglover knows

- Local community organizers for the communities we are trying to serve.
- Usability testers—give us feedback on our forms.
- Bug hunters—test interviews for bugs.
- Data verifiers—verify that information, like courthouse addresses, are up to date.

I'd replace the dashes with spaces on these lines. The dashes aren't necessary.

Great work on all of this! I left a comment where I'd skip the dashes because I'm constitutionally incapable of ignoring punctuation issues, but it's fine either way. This is a huge update!
