Hi all - Just had a quick chat with Jeff Ferzoco's about his project, The Hidden Geography of New York's Gay Nightlife ( https://zingbot.github.io/OUTgoing/), and I'm thinking we'll want to talk about it as a group for longer than just the lightning round at SotM.
Key issues for him for this app that I took away from the conversation: - Crowdsourcing workflow -- Is iD even too heavy? My guess is maybe yes for just adding POI's, name, -- How to curate - Data -- Tagging for curation status - Dates -- Handling approximate date ranges - Filtering (duh!) / rendering -- For static snapshots in time -- For animations of say, point data I've encouraged him to consider using OHM as his data repository for his app's POI data, but it's not clear we have a good solution for him yet that's not too heavy. As an example, I've added a data point for Pennyfeathers from OUTgoing to OHM here <http://www.openhistoricalmap.org/node/2083292070> & tagged it up a bit. One interesting part here is that the existing buildings imported into NYC are from prior to the building of 7th Avenue, so Pennyfeathers appears to be in the middle of a city block. Another question is: how could Jeff extract data from OHM to overlay in his current Leaflet/CartoDB base tile example? Any thoughts, suggestions, volunteers interested in helping ? - Jeff -- Jeff Meyer Global World History Atlas www.gwhat.org [email protected] 206-676-2347 OpenStreetMap: Mapping with a Human Touch osm: Open Historical Map (OHM) <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Historical_Map> / my OSM user page <http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/jeffmeyer> t: @GWHAThistory <https://twitter.com/GWHAThistory> / @OpenHistMap f: GWHAThistory <https://www.facebook.com/GWHAThistory>
