Decidim: Use External Newsletter

This module removes newsletters from Decidim, to use external newsletters, sponsored by the Lausanne Participe platform.

Why it's needed?

Participation is wide, and can use many digital tools. To have a broader newsletter, that includes the whole participation space of the city we need:

• Subscribers to the newsletters don't need an account to subscribe, just an email
• The newsletter sending need to be managed by a restricted group of persons.
• The form to register to the newsletter needs to be included in every digital spaces involving participation.

Usage

This gem removes functionnalities, and add very little to the instance. The database is not afftected, but we give some Rake Tasks to comply to RGPD and clean previously installed Decidim.
