Councillor info contributor provides their details so the admin can contact them about their contribution and thank them

[equivalentideas]

To contact them, we'll need people’s email address. To be able to thank them, recognise their contribution and communicate with them in a nice friendly way, we need their name too.

We should get these details at the end of the process, so they can get straight into adding councillors.

Extracted from #1160

in relation to #1179 and the design principle, I think the information of the user should be optional.
Also, for the user contribution flow, I think it is a nicer/less work experience for user if the form of the suggested councillor and their (optional) user info can be submitted all at once with one click(flow 2 in the chart).

So I'm going in to do:

1. write a test for

• user info submission (create new contributor_spec.rb)
• admin to see the user data (in existing admin_views councillor_contribution_spec.rb)

2. create contributor_model

For now, let the suggested_councillors_controller handle the contributor data so no contributor_controller ?
3) add the contributor info in the admin suggested councillors page

is this the right direction? @equivalentideas @henare

So the main issues here are:

1. Does the user information need to be optional or mandatory?

2. Does the submission of data need to be 1 step or 2 steps?

3. Does the user information need to be optional or mandatory?
   mirroring to our principle, I think users need to have control of where and when they give up their information. so I still think it needs to be optional.

For 2), After a bit of research, I started to lean toward for 2 steps submission.
1 step submission
pros

• Less work for users.

cons

• Presenting optional input with mandatory input may send a mixed message

2 steps submission
pros

• It is obvious that the user information input is optional by the way it presents itself as a follow-up
• It makes the input more conversational

cons

• More work for users

From a bit of research, I am leaning toward 2 steps submissions. It feels to me that there are more pros than cons.

Hey @hisayohorie, as we've discussed in other channels this is looking good and is all headed in the right direction 👍

Does the submission of data need to be 1 step or 2 steps?

We've all discussed this a bit in another thread. I think I might have disrupted things by suggesting we keep it simple on the 1 page for now. Both @hisayohorie and @equivalentideas have said they think 2 step is the way to go so if we want to change this now then I'm up for that.

Sounds good to me, what do you recon @hisayohorie ? If you're into it maybe we should change the title of this issue to be "Councillor info contributor provides their details on a second page after adding councillors so the admin can contact them about their contribution and thank them".
