The list of publishers is currently downloaded from https://www.citygram.org/publishers.json, and then inserted into the database when you run bundle exec rake publishers:download. Unfortunately, the list on the internet isn't complete, and appears to change over time, which makes it impossible to setup reproducible environments. Save this file in the repository, and modify publishers.rake to build the database from the local file.

Nigel is currently scraping the date, but it would be MUCH easier if the date (and fee, perhaps?) were in the datasets.

Example: https://opendurham.nc.gov/explore/dataset/active-building-permits/

The page that Nigel is scraping: http://ldo.durhamnc.gov/durham/ldo_web/ldo_main.aspx

Adam thinks the person would be in the city manager's office.

What's confusing about signing up?

Log your feedback if there were parts that were confusing in the process of signing up.

Should we add restaurant data to Citygram?
Would you want alerts after a nearby restaurants gets an inspection? Who would (Citizens, restaurant owners?)

Review this use case by identifying specific user types and why they would want new restaurant inspections / scores / or violation alerts. "I am a ________, and I want to [do _____________] so that I can ____________." These stories are jumping off points for new designs of the user experience and features.

Would you only want to be alerted if they went down? or every time? How often does a restaurant get inspected? .https://github.com/codefordurham/Durham-Restaurants

Then we can connect citygram to ITTT

This is a https://github.com/nigelterry/Citygram-Connector issue of some kind - all links I've clicked on for Durham bring up a 404 page.

This is pulled from the main citygram issues...

codeforamerica#247

This would make it easier for a user to customize the location that they want to search in.

Some people have trouble installing vagrant - it doesn't always detect that you don't have virtualbox. Modify the install instructions in the readme to include installing vagrant and virtulabox.

This is a calendar of events that happen thru the month. Does it have geo info?

Integrate Restaurant Data from Durham and Wake Counties into CityGram from combined dataset:

A current digest web page looks like this:
https://www.citygram.org/digests/c18a82e7-32e5-4ac1-a7c8-d9e97277a92a/events

How could this be better designed to give people the snapshot they are looking for on a mobile vs desktop computer experience?

Should we include additional info? Should we aggregate on a common map.

Create 2-3 wireframes with different design concepts to bounce off some end users.

Currently you can only see the weekly digest once you subscribe...but it might not even be what you want to see. Have a way to see it first!

Review use case by identifying specific user types and why they would want permit alerts. "I am a ________, and I want to [do _____________] so that I can ____________." These stories are jumping off points for new designs of the user experience and features.

A better system of notifying when a meeting is to take place and what is to be discussed. There are many departments and boards and commissions do not give easy access to this information. Agenda are very structured pdf documents that machines could read much easier and digest better.

Make a connector feed by scraping data from volunteermatch.org or working with the api.

• When else would you want alerts from the city - what events would be most valuable to you?
• What are areas of interest for you in the city? Near your home? near your work? on your normal route to work?
• What other situations would you want to track an area of special interest?

We currently have two datasets integrated with citygram:

• Building Permits in Raleigh and Cary.
• Police reports for Cary, Raleigh, and Durham
  What other data are you interested in? See other comments below for ideas.

If you are in a group of 2 or more, consider doing a brainstorming and prioritization discussions and documenting your results in a comment below.

Example:

• Go to citygram.org
• Pick 'research triangle park'
• Pick 'Building Permits'.
• In the map, pick 'Durham' (upper right hand corner).
• No points appear on the map.
• Zoom out (click - in upper left).
• Points appear on the map.

This happens for Raleigh too.
