[Dec 11 pub] Helping Canadians Start a Business

[pcwsmith]

@pcwsmith and @lisafast

so are we ready to go to translation on this one?

[MaryBethBaker]

It seems long. Any sense of if your readers needs and behaviours around blog lengths?

[pcwsmith]

Short is good, people are busy. But there's also an argument for "as long as it needs to be." It's a balancing act. In any case, we are learning as we go!

[lisafast]

A few tiny finessing things left, should be ready tomorrow.
@MaryBethBaker It's actually shorter than GDS' blog about their own Starting a business project - and I read that whole thing. That said, will see if there any words left that can go.

[MaryBethBaker]

@lisafast Ok. I think maybe the font or spacing makes it look big. Or maybe it's just Monday and I'm tired of looking at my computer ;)

Are you ( @pcwsmith @patlaj ) planning on editing the main page, creating commenting space or giving a bit of a preview section with the links to other posts?

[lisafast]

@MaryBethBaker Mondays - everything looks long!
Yes, we are going to get to commenting etc. but are taking an MVP approach to getting some articles up first, build some momentum.
@pcwsmith I did add a closing few sentences (I know, was trying to cut!) and fixed a few typos, looks ready to me.

NB this one also still needs a plain language / style guide edit. Once this is done, the translation will need to be updated to match (oopsie, still ironing out the process!)

[pcwsmith]

style guide edit complete! @Borges-Porteous is stickhandling the re-translation

[pcwsmith]

needs to go to final review. Will likely require some re-translation at that point - in future will not translate until final review is complete
