Hallo zusammen,

in den USA diskutieren gerade ein paar, wie man am besten Projekte
insgesamt und deren Aktivitätsgrad
im besonderen darstellt.

Was Tanya unten im Email beschreibt bezieht sich auf Philadelphia:
http://codeforphilly.org/project-buzz und ist in der Tat IMHO
sehr cool, weil es für non-coders aufbereitet ist. Und natürlich werden
auch die anderen, mehr number-crunching
 orientierten, Ansätze angesprochen:

http://stats.codeforamerica.org/projects/

There's also the semi-defunct Commons:
http://commons.codeforamerica.org/

And the newer CfAPI that most brigades are publishing project lists in:
https://github.com/codeforamerica/cfapi
http://codeforamerica.org/api/
http://www.codeforamerica.org/brigade/projects/


Ich wollte Euch nur mal die thematisch sortierten Links weitergeben und
einladen, sie anzuschauen. Wie seht ihr Eure Labs-Projekte in diesem
Zusammenhang dargestellt? Passt das oder seht ihr zB für 2015
Handlungsbedarf?

LG,
Marcus

It seems like what Philly is doing is ahead of many brigades (I'd love to
get Boston to institute something like this).

I see the reasons for having a master list at least in every brigade in
three segments:

1. Marketing - In order to support a successful deployment, all brigades
should have a beautiful looking page listing their deployed apps, giving a
few details, and a link. This "listing" does not need too many details, it
just needs to look good and function well.

2. Research, internal -  Don't we all want to build *useful* technologies
for our community? In order to see the usefulness of a project, we need to
look at all the possible measures and use these when formulating new
projects. (Also, this data can be useful when looking into the effort we
give to marketing already existing deployments.)

3. Research, external - As an organization that values open data, I believe
as much data regarding our projects should be available to the public as
possible. This would also make it possible for governments/communities to
see what we have done and attempt to deploy a similar app in their area
(hence not reinventing the wheel).

For me personally, a wishlist of stats would look something like this:
name
category (something like health, education, environment, etc.)
deployment date
unique visitors/twitter followers/etc.
number of active users (for something like adopt-a-hydrant)
press mentions
press mention dates
redeployment sites
(perhaps with many more to come . . . )
