Open Knowledge Labs website (and general issue tracker).
Home Page: http://okfnlabs.org
Open Knowledge Labs is a place for folks to get together (online or IRL) to make stuff with data. It acts as a hub for hacking, wrangling, analyzing, and prototyping for Open Knowledge Network, while also being a portal for technical work done at Open Knowledge International.
Labs is primarily volunteer-based with some support from Open Knowledge International
This repository is a Jekyll-based site for running http://okfnlabs.org.
The license on content is not enough as we may have other terms. All sites should link to main ip policy on main site.
Using the normal jekyll setup
Where do we list community members?
some of this is listed in sidebar but it would be great to have a simple page to link to
Locate at: http://okfnlabs.org/contact/
don't think we have surnames so probably just by name :-)
Current leads are:
Suggest we have this as a special designation on people's profile (role-lead: true or something) and then auto list them
Not sure how yet ...
Possibly via OKFN logo at top left in top bar (though this could be confusing). Alternative is to repeat logo at top right with title for link of e.g. "Part of the Open Knowledge Foundation"
Discussion issue about how to further improve the join in process - http://okfnlabs.org/join/ etc
Related issues
Suggest putting it in the chest region. Need to fit the logo with the aesthetic. Worth seeing a preview first before deploying ...
Also a thought: could we get the robot into the logo (drop the flask maybe) and make the logo fit with its aesthetic.
wdyt @mintcanary? Would this work?
Recent activity does not seem to be getting new activity.
May be related to shut down / move of puppet server?
Display latest activity related to Labs e.g. re labs projects, mailing list etc.
Original frontend code for this in commits like:
This used dashscrape to build the data ...
Resurrect the simple activity stream built by @borior
https://github.com/okfn/dashscrape
Alternatively we could run off activity API: http://activityapi.herokuapp.com/
Things we would want to pull are:
Unfortunately does not look like github activity is pulled down ... :-(
Note repo is at: http://github.com/pybossa/pybossa ...
Plus we should get changes log ;-) (watchers, issues etc)
Main motivation is fixing the github/twitter etc icons on members page (need to invert i think): http://okfnlabs.org/members/
Wonder whether just using fontawesome would both solve this and be useful generally
@mintcanary could you take a look at this? (very non-urgent)
It looks like lightbox javascript is only supposed to be included when it’s used, but the syntax is slightly wrong.
These are the things we plan to do
featured: yes/nohelpwanted: yes/no
typeofhelp:
language: js, python, ...type: (data) tool, visualization, webapp, library, service (webservice)status: one of [alpha, prototype, live, mature]Project list is rather overwhelming at the moment (and will get more so over time).
How could we organize better? First lets think of the purpose:
(in progress)
As a civic hacker newly arrived on labs I want to see what kind of work you do so that I have an idea whether this is the kind of place I want to hangout
As a civic hacker newly arrived on labs I want to see what kind of work you do so that I can get a sense of whether there is a project I could contribute to

Comments:
Would propose listing http://fyi.org.nz/ on projects page (associated with Labs member @wombleton).
@wombleton would you be up for this? Listing instructions are here:
Hi, great design so far. However, after reading articles for a while, the bright colors on the black background make it very difficult to read long text and my eyes got tired after a few paragraphs. I'd either suggest less contrast or an inverted color scheme (even though if might not look as fancy).
Data page is no longer totally up to date. Suggest we:
Then delete data page and link from main menu
How does members work? Who can be a member?
Need to answer these questions but in the mean time we do know some initial members and we can put up a page for them.
Page for list interesting tech we spot around on the web.
Here's the info: https://github.com/okfn/okfn.github.com/blob/master/projects/_posts/1971-04-01-crowdcrafting-and-pybossa.html
@teleyinex this is one for you :-)
See instructions at http://okfnlabs.org/projects/add though obviously only need to amend rather than add. Note some short links on how to contribute e.g. issues link etc very useful ...
Need to also correct links from e.g. /join/
see also #76 (open data maker nights page)
Similar to members/signup (but different obviously!)
Although the javascript for highlight.js is included, the css is not. Also, jekyll supports pygments, so that could be used instead.
Page for listing resources (tools, data) we use a lot.
Started a spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aon3JiuouxLUdFZuSlRMTjBLR0pJUmJZZmx5cFRxSGc
In terms of implemention could copy https://github.com/okfn/ddc-resources (but with this being a page on okfnlabs ...)
Imagine that something like this may also want to go into the School of Data handbook.
Suggest projects have a url-usable name and get a location at http://okfnlabs.org/project/{name}
Question of what we link to on projects list page
I incline somewhat to the latter ...
Showcase age for curating / nice display of work by members.
Different from the front page which is for specific projects for which wider audience contribution / interest is important. This is just about highlighting things.
Here's a spreadsheet to list stuff in
That is issues from https://github.com/okfn/labs/issues
Linked from top menu.
i.e. _target=blank on links
@andylolz this could be a good tryout for our walk-through of new add projects setup (this is also a great project for contributors ...)
Would be nice to connect a project with a list of owners/maintainers (who are members) as we now do with posts. So the project page (and project list) would link to contributors and vice versa.
Add to project info pages (i.e. those in /projects/_posts/) a link like:
owners: space-separated list of usernames
Link to all the owners.
Similar to projects lists page
Link from member page to relevant projects.
Do we want both or just to link to OKFNLabs - think we want both at the present time as labs is only just starting up and therefore has very few followers.
Assume will want to use iconography as per http://okfn.org/ top bar.
It's easy to miss the sidebar sign-up. I frequently send dev-type people to okfnlabs.org to sign up to mailing list (get involved). This should be really prominent if at all possible.
@mintcanary is it possible to only override one bootstrap button style (I suggest btn-primary) with the green "okf" style rather than all the buttons. I'd like to still be able to use the other buttons including the default grey.
