Release each of the following as they get completed: Clean up Next/Prev when used with the Back button. Possibly rename Next/Prev. Make home page list the default. (16) User profile - paragraph available in preferences that gets displayed on the show_user page (4) Associate a user with a location (2) User photo (4) Votes (1 point) and namings (5 points) should be included in user score (4) Updating an author citation currently requires visiting each observation and adding the new name. Seems like there should be a simpler way. ----- Potentially interesting features for improving amateur/professional communication: % Notifications Email queuing (32) Users could register interest in a particular name and get email when one shows up. Add RSS feeds for searches, names, higher level taxa (16) Add more events to the feed (Locations, Votes, New Users), but add filters for the main page. E.g., Observations, Observations with Images, Species Lists, Locations, Votes, Consensus Changing Votes etc. The filters would be controllable in the user preferences and would default to "Observations with Images" (24) Let collector know if someone has asked for collections (call for specimens) (8) % Advice on creating collections (4) % Projects - Create a pages for describing proposed research projects. Projects will have a public page and a private page. Each will have a principle investigator (PI) who controls who can see the private page. The project pages will have an associated Species List (of Observations relevant to the project) and an associated Checklist (of Names relevant to the project). In addition there will be a set of documents associated with the project that can be marked as either public or private. Only people approved by the PI are allowed to see the private documents, but anyone can see the public ones as well as the list of Observations and Names. (40) % Higher-level taxa (Agaricus is part of Agaricales, etc.) View members and membership Page of all members and below? Should Macrolepiota include Chlorophyllum rachodes? Add rank relationships from Name %? Owned descriptions (32) Right now anyone can edit any part of any description for a Name. It would be nice if there was a community description and a set of owned descriptions. %? Common name support. (40) %? Hierarchical locations (40) -------- Theme editor (Jason has an almost complete prototype) (40?) More color themes: Boletus, Coprinus (very black and white) Data to incorporate: Rod's A.c. locations (4) Mike Davis Russulas (8) Ian Gibson Descriptions (16) MykoWeb interface (40) MushroomHobby interface (24) Locations (on going) Descriptions (on going) Image improvements: Make it easier to add and see image notes. Image notes should be visible on show_observation page. Maybe with a link to add a note. (16) Image rating for 'Pictorial', 'Scientific', 'Just Because' (40) textarea under or beside each file in the upload page, so you can add notes to individual photos. (8) Remember me between sessions (16) Organize user preferences into logical groups (8) Featured Mushroom pages (8) Checklists - Lists of Names that have a Title and Purpose/notes, but no associated Observations. (40) Can be used to create species lists, or simply displayed and copied for publication somewhere else. Use to create observations Dynamic checklists based on location or user Sort by date (mod year) (16) Sort order pulldown. Sort by time mod year. References (40) show_name revamp (40) Name notes on the observation pages interactive map for edit_location and create_location (24) map search results (16) map species list (16) altitude as ft or meters? (8) Constrain fixed sets like country, state and county to valid values (24) Clicking on an undefined location should take logged in users to the definition page (4?) Smarter string matching for location merging (16) Map size based on window size (4) Count at each location (4) Different marker colors: synonym, your own observation, specimens with herbarium material Shape information from Darwin Core (40) Photos of location (16) Habitat descriptions (8) Should collections have individual lat/longs? (8) Events (40) Search engine that catches spelling errors. (8) Translate .rhtml templates for account and observer (on hold waiting for translations) (40) Add language preference to user preferences (8) Figure out how to correctly translate emails (account_mailer/*.rhtml) (4) Herbarium records - Provide a standard way to describe herbarium collections. (40) Mobile phone support (40) - Figure out how to tell the difference Look up on web for mobile support functions Mobilize layout: MO & Title on one line. Push around the divs Create a single link at the top for to go to the left-hand panel with the search buttons Remove pagination links from the top of the page Ability to receive observations through email High-bandwith support - 1024x768 suggested rather than 640x640 max. (should include image cleanup) (16) Check for duplicate images, check for referenced images Name tagging (40) Some obvious tags: rare, uncommon, common, edible, choice, inedible, toxic, deadly, medicinal, hallucinogenic Some less obvious tags: 'slime mold', 'hypogeous'... Planning on both simple tags ( is ) and full RDF support ( has ): E.g. "Boletus edulis" is "choice" and "Boletus edulis" has "edibility" of "choice" Learning Calais: 5ddq5zt5rx8gu3ysekebzwar Use RDF to make tags and descriptions machine readable (40) Could be used to enable identification Machine identification (160) Need to check out Symbiota: http://seinet.asu.edu/seinet/symbiota/index.php Mycology club affiliations (useful for searching) (4) Add support for OpenID (32) Field based search mechanism (advanced search) (40) General discussion blog that is searchable (32) Local client that can only add (160) 'More images'/'Less images' toggle (8) this would change the grid layout to rows with all the thumbs displayed Show all images when looking at a Name page (Darvin) (4) name_search - Added mark to give count of observations and images. (2) Display content from other sites (e.g., mykoweb links page) (16) Rename 'Features and Fixes' to include Date and version (4?) Synonym features (8) Automated way to apply synonyms to your own observations (with review) Admin stuff: (4?) Webpages for accessing the logs Top ten pages of Names, Images, Observations (40) Names: Best Edibles, Most Toxic, Hallucinogenic, Easiest to Learn, Easiest to Confuse ... Images: Pictorial, Scientific, Humor, ... Observations: Biggest, Smallest, Off season, Surprising Ideally users should be able to create new top ten pages and the top ten pages themselves should get ranked somehow User score bonus/discount (4?) Page for Unknowns (16) Name comments rather than just notes? (32) Images in comments (8) Add user.login and what got changed to show_past_name (16)
