Change the about text for an organization.

[kindly]

Come up with the what is an organization text and reassign this to @johnmartin when done.

See here http://organizations.staging.ckanhosted.com/organization

@shevski I think you also need a new '"What are groups?" text, what's there currently actually describes what an organisation is, e.g. http://pdeu.staging.ckanhosted.com/group

Okay, I've put together some text, but we need user friendly instead of publisher friendly info. Personally, I think we shouldn't have these tooltips shown to users, they should just see the org names and their descriptions. Or this should be configurable by the instance owner.

Organisations
Organisations act like publishing departments for datasets (for example, the Department of Health). This means that datasets can be published by and belong to a department instead of an individual user.
Within organisations, admins can assign roles and authorisation its members, giving individual users the right to publish datasets from that particular organisation (e.g. Office of National Statistics).

Groups
Groups allow you to group together datasets under a community (for example, Civil Liberty data) or topic (e.g. Transport, Health, Environment) to make it easier for users to browse datasets by theme. Datasets can be part of a group, but do not belong to the group for editing or authorisation purposes.

I agree these What are Orgs? and What are Groups? texts seem inappropriate for the user interface. They seem like they belong in the user manual. On the other hand we probably do need something on the user interface to explain to visitors what the difference between Groups and Organisations is because the names don't make it clear. But we should try to come up with something much shorter.

I have to say I agree with Sean. The wording is better but still too long and confused. I'm not sure how we fix these issues.

I don't think we need explanatory text for users themselves. Once there are groups and organizations, it should be self explanatory. The short version of the text would be: "You can browse datasets that have been grouped together by theme" or "Here you can find datasets published by specific organizations".
However, we don't know how people will use group functionality (or whether they use it at all - I think there should be an option to disable).

I created a new issue for this exact concern: #229 so let's continue discussion there
