Apologies: none

[Meeting begins 14:45]

MC: Likes general design (Justinmind) direction, some small alterations. Likes having vertical category filter beside the map. Crowd-sourcing doesn’t need to be at the fore-front the entire time.

RF: still debate as to whether filter should be pinned to map, or integrated to the search
MC: Have default location (IP logged on set-up), but can change (e.g. you are travelling somewhere).
MC: immediate impression of web-app must be that it is sharing focussed. Less buttons, more clear. The direction we want to take: how easy can we make it?
SP: Pre-login screen: can see activities and groups/communities, but not the members
[Discussion about a banana…]
MC: Wall is just for social, not for active sharing. Wants a static list of ‘wanted’ and ‘offered’ for local area.
ML: So filtering the map, just filters the map?
MC: Yes: when you search using the bar, the map filter will disappear.
RF: Definitely nice to make things seem like there is activity (a la Facebook) - dynamic viewing.
SP: Usually in Facebook you miss a lot of activity.
MC: yunity must focus on sharing over social.
RF: So text/pictures are all posted to the wall, and activities posted to a different ‘wall’.
ML: So one just social, and one just functional.
MS: Likes the differentiation, but first thought would be that they were linked together. Perhaps design a logarithm that arranges things best.
MC: Suggest to keep both feeds in one…
[further discussion of walls and feeds]

ML: Dev update: Working on search model is being formalised, definition of what ‘groups’ and ‘communities’ are is needed,

MC: Are we going to use OpenStreetMap? I wonder if the colour is customisable.
ML: Yes and yes.
RF: Documentation is ongoing?
ML: Always
RF: Collaboration with Nick has led to a GitHub wiki page for defining what ‘groups’ and ‘communities’ are.

RF: Next Coco meeting will have seven members next time, according to structural revision.

RF: Mail to remote contributors to go out soon.

MS: Working together distributedly in future requires planning, will present to team with Doug in a few days

[Meeting ends: 15:16]
