Geocoding #17

Closed justin3rd5Auburn closed 10 years ago

justin3rd5Auburn commented 10 years ago

I realized that we geocode the address for volunteers. Why do we do that? We don't need the longitude and latitude for volunteers. We need it for job sites. Is this left over from the demo for the arch spike?

CoryG89 commented 10 years ago

Well, really I just did this because we are getting their address anyway, which was on their volunteer registration form in the past and so I put the geocoding in there to mostly just get the formatted address that gets returned, just saving the coordinates while I'm at it. Who knows they may need to use the formatted address to send out t shirts. I figure they may want it and maybe even the coordinates for reference/analytic purposes and even if not we may use the data in order to show volunteers or let them print a map with directions to their jobsite from their address.

I dunno, do you feel we shouldn't geocode their address because of privacy concerns?

We may need it one day but at this point its just extra work. I don't mind leaving it in there. My main concern is we need it for the job sites in order to match project coordinators.

Yeah, I was thinking we were already doing it for job sites. I'll go ahead and add that now actually.
