Description

Description We need to add a page for inactive chapters that provides information for those hoping to jumpstart the chapter again.

Ask Create a notification or a redirect page that has contact information or "next steps."

To Do

  • Discuss the best approach with CLs and HQ
  • Create new page (if that direction) and finalize content
  • Redirect users to that page when visiting inactive chapters

Additional Info Need to decide if we want to indicate that the chapter is inactive in the /chapters page or leave the chapter but redirect when clicking. Good starting point for discussion.

Research direction
The issue requires a decision between creating a new page or adding a notification for inactive chapters. Start by reviewing the current /chapters page to understand the existing structure. Then, examine the discussion in the issue comments to see if CLs and HQ have indicated a preferred approach. The implementation will likely involve modifying route files (e.g., routes/chapters.js) and creating a new view template (e.g., views/chapters/inactive.hbs). Ensure redirects are handled properly.
