Open Data Maps: Add Contribute / Report a Change / Credits Banner or Similar Overlay to the Map Demo and Previews

[jeremywight]

What: We should add a persistent banner to the top or side of the Map Layers with the text:
"Open Source! Interested in contributing by updating data for map layers? Click here to request contributor rights!" that links to the maps contributing doc, like this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DaFbYMFFjldWLinzJJDr1URwF-5bP-JGJVPxpn_pRZo/edit#gid=0

A "banner" / overlay to direct people to contribute / report / or read the credits may be easily done with a "Control" in Leaflet.js

Is there a preferred destination for reports/feedback provided by users? Is the primary desire there to allow for inaccuracies (ex: a locations has closed/moved) to be reported?

What do you all think of a banner like this near the top? I just found this generic Tailwind UI banner on their site and plopped in into the map to get a feel for how it'd look.

Looks fine to me. Anything is better than what we have now. Thanks

Sounds great. I'll get to work!

To start, I'd say directing the links to https://data.openupstate.org/map-layers would be good, since it explains some things. Linking directly to the spreadsheets may cause confusion without context of what people should do, and that these are part of a project.
