We're aiming to produce a public facing website for the MalariaGEN observatory. Long term we aim to deliver five layers of content via this website:
- Written articles on high-level stories from the data, these could include interactive visualisations.
- Data-driven pages detailing information relevant to malaria control, e.g. page per country
- Fully explorable and downloadable data at a genomic level, similar to current panoptes deployments
- Publications detailing our methods and scientific rigour.
- Technical source files, e.g. VCFs et al from an ftp.
Initially we focus on nailing 1, 2 and 3 as these will have most impact for our key target audience of "Public Health workers in Malaria Control". They are also the levels missing from our existing data-sharing tools.
Our first medium term goal is to create a site based on the existing Pf6 dataset combined with imminently forthcoming haplogroup metrics about those samples. However we should bear in mind that in the long term data from other projects such as SpotMalaria will be included which will not produce haplogroups. All the data is public.
Rather than exactly specifying a site to be build upfront, we will instead follow an iterative process which attempts to solicit meaningful feedback as soon as possible.
https://github.com/wtchg-kwiatkowski/observatory-web/milestones lists the current milestones we are working towards. We will have a both "production" and "staging" sites. The production site will be updated every two weeks and the changes listed at: https://github.com/wtchg-kwiatkowski/observatory-web/releases. Any issues with the production site should be raised, the staging site may be broken at any time.
