we're quickly learning that doing a/b tests as part of the request system is harder than we'd like. Currently, the key challenges are:\r\n* Identify requests to use\r\n* sending all the requests\r\n* tracking requests back & getting our key stats\r\n\r\nWhat @natalianorori and I discussed was trying to set up a dev request system separate from the main site that excels at doing A/B testing of emails. We discussed using mail merge systems that can feed from a spreadsheet to send requests to authors en-mass, where instead usually Natalia would need to do this from the site (in our old fashion request moderation style). \r\n\r\nThe workflow for a test would then be:\r\n* Export requests from the site using our usual route\r\n* Select requests we'd like to do tests on, and which tests\r\n* Build emails / subjects etc etc in our usual email accounts for testing different things\r\n* Send tests via mail merges\r\n... wait\r\n* re-download data from the site\r\n* Analyse differences in requests involved the test to see deposit rates. Use data from the mail-merge system on open rates & click rates. \r\n\r\nThis could probably all be handled in one sheet, and with minimal technical skills. What I think the main hurdles would include:\r\n* how to notify users a request has been sent (we may not always _have_ to do this) - @natalianorori any ideas?\r\n* how to upload data on what requests have been sent back to the site - @markmacgillivray we've spoken about allowing this many times, any thoughts?\r\n\r\nDoing this, I think, would allow us to scale our testing processes MUCH faster & get good data back while I think skipping work in other issues. \r\n\r\nWould be interested in @OAButton/team thoughts.
