Design/UX #4225
closedAdd information to DIRT page (in Create a Group)

Description
The eighth step, to enable ‘Digital Research Tools,’ does not have any explanatory information about what this tab offers. Can it be customized or is it a set list of tools chosen by CUNY?
Add information about these tools, why a group might want to add this tab, or link to Codex (http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/dirt/)
If customizable, add those options here too.

My inclination is actually to remove this step from group creation altogether. Our group creation process is already painfully long, and this is a feature that few will want. The main downside is that removing it from group creation makes it less likely that people will use it. Matt, do you have any thoughts about this?

I would like to find a middle road. Is it possible to have a single page where this "add-on," non-essential functionality could appear in a list of similar possible add-ons, each opening up accordion to reveal options if users are interested?

The BuddyPress group creation process is pretty lousy. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3717 and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2673. It is probably worth sinking time into fixing it.

So the decision here is to overhaul the groups process on the BP-side, right? Do you need more from me for that?
