Technical Issues
- Map is too zoomed out
- They requested today to have focus on Kibera but have whole Nariobi map show if you scroll around. Possible?
- Related reports are not actually related
- Can we include mainstream news on kibera (anything from KTN Nation etc) as a feed somewhere too? Already posting some of their videos.
Older Technical Issues
These may be solved
- the dots are again not appearing on my map kibera.ush with the www (in case you tried to fix already?) - also even w/o www i had to reload a few times
- source of each report (ie, news media org)
- type of report (video, audio, written)
- timeline doesn't look like anything?
Design
I think we could use some help determining the best design for the site. We have a couple of photos of Kibera (see Flickr: mapkibera tag, ie http://www.flickr.com/photos/junipermarie/4169730390/; I also have a lot of video and could pull out stills). We also are open to color suggestions.
One of our mappers also came up with some Map Kibera logo ideas based on incorporating the railway into the design. I think this would also be a nice graphic element for our site.
Is this enough to start with or?
