Adding testimonials to the RDMkit

[bedroesb]

I would like to use this pull request to try out some things.

My first idea was to try out to display them on the home page (with or without carousel) and link from there to an actual testimonial page. You can see how this would look like/follow the progress here: https://bedroesb.github.io/rdmkit/

Current preview:

Looks great, @bedroesb
Just wondering if links/hyperlinks with buttons can also be added? either below or inside the text area of a testimonial - thinking here about links to external websites (e.g. for articles, publications, etc)

[bedroesb]

@Nazeeefa that should not be a problem!

A couple of my suggestions for the heading of ‘testimonials’ section, just brainstorming:

1. How is RDMkit (or our work) helping?
2. How is RDMkit bringing the impact we aim for?
3. Impact of RDMkit
4. Impact of RDMkit: Use Cases (or Testimonials/Feedback)
5. RDMkit: Impact
6. How is RDMkit supporting users (optional: across the world); not sure if the word ‘users’ is suitable to refer also to organisations/people who use or have used RDMkit as an inspiration/guide for web development

Feel free to share yours! and/or vote for any of the above!

I am not a fan of the word 'impact', gives me funding-language-vibes :) but I do like one, or a variation of one!

I would focus on "you" and "people" rather than "we" or "users". I think we need to make it clear this section isn't for us or for funders, but it's to help people get the most out of the site. Maybe:
7. How people use RDMkit
8. How you can use RDMkit (tagline: "Get ideas from people who already use the site."
9. Ways you can use RDMkit
10. Ways people use RDMkit
11. How others use RDMkit

@bedroesb Ah ok, I see that. I was thinking of how RDMkit helped/inspired, when using the term 'impact'.

Thanks @martin-nc :)

I thought this could be done as a part of description, while we keep title concise and clear

a wild idea - feel free to voice your opinion.
I know we originally wanted testimonials from specific people (researchers), but we know DS use this resource way more. but to me that creates a conflict of interest as DS are main contributors.
how about we ask testimonials from other projects (who use our resource) or work packages?

I like this idea, how about testimonials from both researchers (primary target audience) as well as other projects/WPs? 😀
