jhilden / talkingpoints Goto Github PK

I thought our repo might be stable right now, but it isn't. We might want to consider making tags of our stable versions to download easily. I''ll look into this, but in the meantime Jakob, do you have any idea if there are a few simple things I need to uncomment to get our development code running? I assume it is code that deals with the blog?

Geokit doesn't seem to be rendering distances correctly. During our acceptance test we found that geokit seems to estimate much larger distances between points than we measured on our own. I'm wondering if there might be any ideas about this.

I've been looking around on the GeoKit Google group:
http://groups.google.com/group/geokit

And on their website:
http://geokit.rubyforge.org/

. . . of course, I've yet to find clues.

Move 'Create New Location' to top of home page for locations, instead of bottom, to eliminate need for scrolling when entering new info in database

It may be a great search app and all, but it requires compiling from source and that seems like a lot to ask of all future talkingpoints volunteers who may not be as experienced with the command line. Would it be possible to stick with established gems that are available for most operating systems?

Edit: maybe it can be installed using a gem. I tried rake:gems install because that's what it told me to do, but that didn't help. The website seemed to indicate it had to be compiled from source in order to install. But then after I installed it still didn't work so I tried gem install thinking-sphinx and it appears to be working. So never mind :)

List locations alphabetically on main locations page, or grouped by parent location, not just in reverse chronological order

(From Suzy)

(From Suzy)

Remove 'Address' column from main locations page; with 'parent' visible, address not necessary

(From Suzy)

Add 'Building Feature' to list of locations, instead of just 'Misc.' for things like information desk, circulation desk, computing site, etc.; also add 'Meeting Rooms'

(From Suzy)

(From Suzy)

Change 'Public Building' to 'University Building', because university building implies that during some hours a university ID is necessary to enter; it will help differentiate between buildings that are truly public, e.g. coffee shops like Espresso Royal vs. those that are not, e.g. Michigan Union

(From Suzy)

Remove 'Latitude' and 'Longitude' columns from main locations page; with 'parent' visible, not necessary

(From Suzy)

Move 'Edit' to top of each location page, instead of bottom, to eliminate need for scrolling when editing a given location

(From Suzy)

talking-points.org no longer provides the ability to add and edit sections for locations.
