Put in an address search bar on top of Bldg has no reports panel. Search bar shows what address user typed in on the previous page. When user clicks on X on inside/right of search bar user is brought back to the Home panel.

Having the "Report Your Building" panel on the right looks good, but it seems the functionality has changed / gone away. I'm attaching a screenshot of what happens when I type in "1224 W. Victoria". I also typed in other addresses and the result is the same as the screenshot.

Right now we only store an "address" string on location. Eventually we'll want to display more complex information about a location without making another call to the geocode API every time if we've already retrieved the data before. I think we'll want to at least add Zip, possibly county, city, state, etc

Change "Call your Alderman" to "Contact Your Alderman"

When a user clicks on the pin, the information about that location should appear in the side panel per the wireframes.

Change "Report It" button to "Share Your Report". Make button large, visible, perhaps brightly colored, and AMAZING. Place button under "Add a Comment" box.

The deprecation warning in issue in PR #46 was likely because we are using loose versioning in our package.json (0.10.x). I'm developing using Node 0.10.32, and heroku is periodically deploying newer versions. We can lock our deployment to a specific node version in the Procfile. @alexkahn, can you please find out what the current version of Node is on Heroku and add the appropriate entry in the procfile and package.json to make sure we keep our dev and production environments in sync?

When a user clicks on a pin to see the report, they should have a close button available in the info pane.

It may be useful for this project to read what the City and others have already written about recycling in 5+ unit buildings.

City resources

It appears that the City has a policy in place for applying to get recycling multi-unit buildings. One feature of the app could be pointing people to these resources (or simplifying the process)

• Recycling for Multi-Unit Residential Buildings
• Resources and Frequently Asked Questions for Multi-Unit Recycling
• Multi­Unit Residential Recycling Plan and Waste Generation and Recyclable Collection Worksheet
• Source-Separated Recycling Service Providers
• Multi-unit Residential Recycling 5 Step Process

Has anyone tried reaching out to Recycling & Compost Collection at Streets and Sanitation at the City?

Put in a top search box that shows user's search
Include an X in the box that onClick brings people back to the original search screen

Put in large font "Submit a Report" heading below the search bar.

See the 2nd Pin on the map on the Home (Start page). OnClick this pin displays the Bldg Report information in the side panel. When a user clicks on the X in the upper right-hand corner of the panel the panel closes and the user is brought back to the panel they were previously in.

Click on the 2nd pin down from the top to see example

We need to be able to post data containing an address and a value for recyclingAvailable to create new reports.

The address should be geocoded and the latitude/longitude needs to be stored, so that the map can display points of interest.

Replace "What Group is This?" and the paragraph following it with the following text

What is this site for and who made it?
My Building Doesn’t Recycle! is a web app that allows multi-unit renters (renters in buildings with 5 or more units) to report that they do not have recycling in their building. This site was created by Claire Micklin (www.clairemicklin.com), Ben Wilhelm (link to Ben’s website), and Alex Kahn (link to Alex’s site) at Open Government Hack Night (http://opengovhacknight.org/).

On the About page can you change the following text:
In 1994, the City of Chicago passed an ordinance, called the Burke-Hansen ordinance,

to

In 1994, the city of Chicago passed the Chicago High Density Residential and Commercial Source Reduction and Recycling Ordinance, commonly known as the Burke-Hansen ordinance,

Heya, I'd like to try changing the color of the site title to something along the lines of this color: #00FF00

Per wireframes http://i785tr.axshare.com/ please add Report Your Building, Get Involved, and About nav items.

We plan on having more options that yes/no for recyclingAvailable, so a boolean is too restrictive. Change this to another column type (probably integer), so that we can handle other possibilities.

Put the front page explanatory text under "Report It!" instead of under the Report Your Building button

Get Involved Page - make the Sortable list of alderman the link text for the link

Insert this text between "Besides Reporting Your Building ..." and "View the City of Chicago's Guide"

Email or call your alderman and tell them you want the city to enforce the existing recycling laws. The city provides a sortable list of alderman (https://chicago.legistar.com/People.aspx) and their wards. If you don't know which ward you live in, you can input your address and search for your ward.

Some concerns about security were raised. If we're handling people's home address, it would be good to be sending data over https

Right now the reports.json call only returns whether recycling is available and a locationId. This call should prefetch the locations along with the reports and return location information as well

We should create a google group or something similar so we have an easy way to all email each other, as well as a place to securely store Heroku creds, API keys, etc.

Claire, Marina, Zach? Can one of you guys take this?

Right now if you submit an empty search, you get back "Chicago Illinois" for your report. We should do a front-end validation on that form to disallow the empty search

More specifically, the side panel:
http://i785tr.axshare.com/#p=recycling_report_-_bldg_has_no_reports
http://i785tr.axshare.com/#p=recycling_report_-_bldg_has_reports

Other than that, we are good to go!

Under the heading "No recycling in your building?" add:

Although the Burke-Hansen ordinance requires that buildings with 5+ units provide recycling, the lack of enforcement leaves many residents without these services. With your help, we can visualize the scope of this problem in order to mobilize support for a change in city recycling policy.

Make all the reporting buttons the same blue as the Find my Building button

Need to add active classes to indicate page that you are currently on (report your building, get involved, about)

Put in the "I agree" functionality
and the comments
and the Share Report button

The twitter and facebook buttons on the get-involved page and the report submitted page are not currently functional.

Put in search bar to show what address person has entered. The search bar also has an x in it that when clicked brings the user back to the initial (Home) panel.

http://127.0.0.1:32767/start.html#p=recycling_report_-_bldg_has_reports

Change wording on front page:

how about instead of "Report your building" we say "Start your report" . I think Report Your Building might lead people to believe that they are completing a report just by clicking the button, when in reality they will be accessing an overview of previous reports and have the option to agree or disagree.

Change copy from "Report my Building" to "Find my building"

No recycling in your building?

Tell us about it!

Chicago law (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WiQrL8nlmBOdywuFgqFrPDokTRhIdFifeo-oCuLIcxc/edit?usp=sharing) requires buildings with 5 or more units to recycle.

However, the City of Chicago does not enforce this law --- and this leads many landlords NOT to provide recycling services to tenants.

Add your report to our registry to show that your building does not recycle.

Your report shows that many buildings are NOT offering recycling and that Chicagoans support stronger recycling laws.

Make it like this:

Hey Richard. We're all pretty much set up with our dev environments. If you create some discrete tasks for us to tackle, we can get started on them.

Sometimes the map is not filling up the page. There is often a gray area left under the map.

This will also happen if user zooms in on the map.

Change site title to "My Building Doesn't Recycle!"

After a report is successfully submitted, the map should drop a new pin, ideally a different color, onto the map

Put in a large, visible "Share Your Report" button below the Add a Comment box.

http://127.0.0.1:32767/start.html#p=recycling_report_-_bldg_has_reports

Per usability test results...
Change "Share Your Report" to "Add your report"

Remove the "Start Over" button

"Doesn't" in site title is missing a letter N.

Switch to using mongo rather than Postgres. The support for mongo on node is more widespread and a document based model actually works out well in our case

@benwilhelm is working on this

Move the node server code to the top level, and move the client code into a views folder as a typical ExpressJS app.
