Hi there @richarddushime , It is a really good start mapping the community's distribution across the globe! The branch seems to have a conflict somewhere. Can you update it? |
|
ps: we should probably re-think "Forrt Mapping". We have a "Mapping OS" in our educational nexus, and we have "Community" in About menu. So perhaps we can call it "FORRT Network"? I am super open to ideas. I don't think my suggestion is great. So if anyone has better names @forrtproject/team-website , please feel free to chime in! It would also be really nice if it opened in a new tab, rather than the same tab when you click on it (so that folks still have a tab open w/ our website). |

To open the app in a new window and mask the URL so that it looks like it is on forrt.org, we can follow the model I just added to the replication apps in #181. Re name, I would suggest we call this community and replace the current community page - I am not sure if the current community page is helpful, as it is so incomplete and does not contain any information on the individuals displayed - and would require a fair bit of work to be more useful than this? If we want to keep the community, then maybe this can be called community map? I am not so keen on network, as that sounds more like partnerships to me? |

I like Community, and Community Map. re: the community page: I totally see your point! The reason we have it is that people needed to have a page where they can say I am a part of this. It preceeds the credit page, and it is useful for some members (but not the whole community). We can absolutely re-think the community page (and improve it) as part of team website! |

Dear @richarddushime , the branch says there are conflicts which maybe you know how to resolve? |
Sure , I will resolve this ASAP |
|
@richarddushime just pinging you again to resolve this conflict :) would be great to add to the page |
|
Hi there @richarddushime so sorry for my delay, it seems that there are conflicts for the menu again. My fault! Sorry!
|
|
Well its nice but I think the one in the PR is better due to features the map has secondly would you also suggest which one we are going to use ? Then I could focus on improving the selected one |

This PR can be closed too it's the old version of the FORRT Mapping PR #214 @flavioazevedo @LukasWallrich @forrtproject/team-website |

Hi @richarddushime , can you point me to the html file you are talking about? I am not sure what it is. I love the app for what's worth :) The suggestion of the picture above is just a way to represent things in a different way. I like the way we do it in the map, but it emphasizes (a lot) Europe, so I am trying to find ways to highlight our diversity. Also, you should know I can be a little 'too much' regarding Visualizations of data: https://flavioazevedo.com/visualizations |
|
I saw your other comment, so we probably want to close this PR as well? @richarddushime ? |
|
Yes |
|
Closing this as requested! |
Hi @forrtproject/team-website
I'm working on the Forrt Community Mapping using Shinnyapps.io. Could you please check out the draft here: Forrt Community Mapping (Test) ? I'd love your feedback and suggestions before finalizing it.
Thanks
