CityStats project: meeting and plans
Posted by mholmes on 03 Sep 2008 in Activity log
Met with JS-R to discuss future plans for the CityStats.ca project. This is the outcome:
- A duplicate development site will be created, where extra data can be added for research purposes, and where development for the main site can be piloted. (This is now done.)
- A more sophisticated user interface will be created so that visitors to the main site can create sophisticated datasets through a wizard, which will generate tables. I've already completed an outline of the wizard interface and functionality; this will need to be elaborated with plans for the AJAX front end (probably based on JQuery) and the PHP backend (planning for which will wait until some coding changes currently being done by JD are complete, and integrated into the current site).
- The current site will be reviewed as part of the review of a paper being considered for publication; feedback from that process will be discussed and factored into the plan for the main site.
- I'll set aside some time in October/November to work on the changes to the main site.
- A fully-functioning wizard/table/chart system needs to be in place by January, when the article is published.
