Top Priorities

Election Day is close at hand, and we need to boil this project down to a few priorities.  You can browse additional projects below.

 

  1.  What is twittervotereport?
  2. Get Connected
  3. Top Priorities
    1. Interactive Map
    2. Site Design
    3. Input and Output Streams
    4. Additional Visualizations

 

Interactive Map

Our top priority is to create an interactive map according to Andy Carvin's Spec:

- it's embeddable on any website (because our stations may want to embed it locally)

- If it's a google map, have it set in street map mode rather than showing topographical features

- preferably overlaid with the Google/Pew KML data of polling places

- also overlaid with the YouTube/PBS KML of Video Your Vote videos (Dave, have you talked to them yet?)

- Map pinpoints use different icons if specific tags (#ballot, #wait, etc) are used (I think someone did this on the original maplet, right?)

- Clicking a pinpoint displays the full text of what a person submitted if they submitted a tweet or SMS; if it's audio or a youtube video, it would pop up a player to play the content

- If possible, allow the person embedding the code to set its location and scale, so if a user in Ohio wants the default setting to focus on the state of Ohio, they can do that.

 

The remaining tasks in this area are:

1. Create real-time Gmaps visualization, automatically updated using AJAX, and aggregating data with Marker Manager

2. Determine reporting requirements for heat mapping

3.

 

Site Design

We need to make some key changes to our homepage.  They are, in priority order

1. Improved Twistori-like frontpage using ajax/better design (Amy Hoy & Thomas Fuchs)

2.

3. Set up Google Analytics and watch traffic

 

Input and Output Streams

1. Support reports.kml?near= param for proximity reports

2. Review status of iPhone app process; coordinate potential v1.01 (Sze Wong) (See below for currently proposed updates)

3. Finalize and test automated VOIP-based reporting (Jay Phillips)

4. Sweeper interface models, tests, and UI (Billy Gray, Cory Forsyth)

5. Review of sweeper interface (Mike Subelsky)

6. iPhone App update: Question of "Can we contact you?" and if yes, conditional data entry for email and phone number. (May not need)

 

Additional Visualizations

1. Additional Google maps visualization using Google Charts (Nick Gauthier)

2. Web Visualization in Ruby-Processing (Jeff Warren)
