Consider ways to collect users' emails #331
Description
So that we can follow up with them to help promote effective use.
Ideas:
- Subscribe to a newsletter for new publications and/or major updates to the data registry as a whole (can be implemented using Mailchimp or Substack). We can then message the list once a year to ask how they used the registry (via a simple form). We can otherwise aim to send quarterly updates.
- Subscribe to individual publications, e.g. to be alerted about major improvements, newly identified quality issues, etc. This would require handling subscriptions in the app itself. If a user subscribes to multiple datasets, we'd want to send them one combined email, not several. When updating a publication, we can maybe have a form asking if it's a major update, and if so prompt the admin to fill in a bullet-form description. These bullets would then be aggregated into weekly emails. We would add the registry to our GDPR registry of systems.
Call to action (add Fathom event tracking):
