Chilling Effects Teamspace

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

Nov. 13 -- add ideas over next few weeks. Next steps, circulate among other Chill participants, prioritize, and turn into an RFP/Statement of Work.

Major categories

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
