Investigate use of "guestbook at request" feature on Demo Dataverse

jggautier opened this issue · comments

For more context, I'm adding a link to the email conversation that prompted this GitHub issue, where folks planning to use Harvard Dataverse expressed interest in what the "guestbook at request" feature would let them do. The email conversation is at https://help.hmdc.harvard.edu/Ticket/Display.html?id=357131

@jggautier could you clarify what is meant by investigate here, beyond configuring HDV?

In a Slack conversation on Feb. 20, @sbarbosadataverse wrote about wanting "to confirm it's working exactly as you described"

@jggautier Is the recommendation then to turn on in demo first to confirm, then HDV if the feature behaves as expected?

I'm not sure what @sbarbosadataverse had in mind.

Maybe adding this functionality to Demo Dataverse or maybe to an AWS instance so that @sbarbosadataverse can review it? Or maybe it'll be helpful for @sbarbosadataverse to review documentation related to the functionality and the results of any UX research that was done when it was being worked on?

@sbarbosadataverse what do you think?

Yes, let's move to demo and I can actively review and test.

Just following up on this after reviewing my conversation with the user who's interested in this feature.

When this is picked up for a sprint and a developer can add this feature to Demo Dataverse, I imagine we'd like it configured so that by default it's turned off for all collections. And collection admins can turn it on the way Jim described in that Google Groups thread.
