Here are a list of links to the web maps created at the Open Cities Africa/Mapbox training in September 2018 in Zanzibar:

@cgiovando - yves had requested that they all be included together on one page highlighting the training. Or do you think it would work better as a blog post featured on the site with links? Tagging others for their input: @vdeparday @gracedoherty

I think a blog post would be nice - with reference to and following up with more technical details on the previous one --> https://opendri.org/building-web-maps-in-zanzibar/

The individual city pages on OCA website are quite heavy, so if we want to do some kind of embedding, we should think of separate pages (e.g. App Showcase or Using the Data)

We decided to include screenshots and some brief description text of each app on the respective city page, then link that screenshot to its external hosted site.

@MiraLGupta @gracedoherty can you work with the authors to provide brief text for each app?

I just realized, the workshop teams are not city-specific. One webmapping team chose to use Saint-Louis data, but their team members were from Saint-Louis, Zanzibar, Monrovia, Tana... Other webmapping teams used Zanzibar data and were made up of a mix of delegates from our cities & ZMI.

Since it wouldn't make sense to have them on the city pages, where on opencitiesproject.org can we post these screenshots & description & link? Two options I've considered:

  1. Design a "training" page where we explain the multimodal training structure for Open Cities Africa - the course platform; regional meetings; workshops (e.g. webmapping).
  2. Add all of the web maps to the Zanzibar page (and the one Saint-Louis web map to S-L page).

Seeking discussion from: @cgiovando @MiraLGupta @nualacowan

(per Cristiano's suggestion above)

  1. New page called App Showcase -or- Using the Data. In addition to these web map prototypes, it would include info on and link to the data product each team produced for their city.
