Ideas from WS Nov. 12 email:
#. current workflow automation -- can we make data entry more efficient and  standardize entries better for data analysis?
#. interactivity -- where might we make the site more dynamic for users?
#. aggregation -- perhaps incorporate news feeds from related sites, including CMLP.
#. security -- let's get the admin interface into SSL; make sure entries are being properly sanitized.
#. despam -- lots of spam notices lately. can we set up more effective filters without driving away real contributors?
 
Ideas from Nov. 13 telephone call:
#- update the look and feel, give the site a consistent branding
#- make the site more responsive from the admin side, speed repetitive entry
#- fix the ordering of questions in drop-downs (WS will change default ordering to by-category)
#- create more group FAQs (like 745, 746) to make rapid annotation easier
#- add a (re)captcha to the notice-entry form
#- possible bulk-update feature
#- user testing
#- make search-by-field more prominent
#- add aggregated real-time news, perhaps in place of "related" boxes
#- interactive or real-time data-visualizations (think about what type of data might be interesting to watch) ticker, graphs, changing display, Google mapping
#- data manipulation tools, e.g. to standardize "sender" fields

Chill Project Ideas: uses for data, potential student projects (law, iSchool, social science students)

Chill Bulk Submitters: whom do we get data from? whom should we add?

Chill Participants: who's involved

Chill ToDo: general thoughts (the old content of this main wiki page has moved here)

Redesign thoughts

We have some resources for Chilling Effects development. What should we do and how should we prioritize? Please add your ideas to the mix.

  • Design
  • Functionality (for public viewers, for admins)
  • Data manipulation

Chill Improvements

  1. Info design: Weather Reports on front page (some? all?)
  2. Clean up info and graphic design, make links to key queries (e.g. all notices in a category) easier to find
    1. optimize for both first-time visitors (typically from Google searches, landing on a specific C&D) and repeat (RSS, Weather)
    2. add/update graphics (stock photos?)
  3. Add facebook / twitter / identi.ca / digg links (code from Eva/Tim @ EFF)
    1. this can add interactivity without making us moderate comments on-site
  4. Create more standardize Q&A sets (see suggestions in Chill Data dump)
  5. Find new Chill Bulk Submitters
  6. Engage Chill Participants
