Slide 3 (When and where)

The chart

‘Select a particular place to view details’ - perhaps this needs to be set up more like:

‘The chart [timeline] shows the total number of accidents reported in our sample over time. Select a place to see how local reports contributed to the total'.

Or 'Select a place to see how the number of reports changed by location.’

The map - swap for comments?

As we don't (yet) have enough data to really make the map work, I’m wondering if we should swap it out. At this stage of sampling it just shows which regions we selected newspapers from.

But we could swap it for participant comments?

‘Online volunteers read thousands of articles to create this dataset. Comments they made on the articles helped shape this exhibition. We’ve shared some here for a sense of what they read’

Display sample comments in a two column layout of article date and volunteer comment - if possible linked to the place chosen? Article date 1 May 1839 Volunteer comment: Of course the death of a teenager crawling around under a machine while it was working was "accidental"!

The chart

‘The chart [timeline] shows the total number of accidents reported in our sample over time. Select a place to see how local reports contributed to the total'.

I like this as a text description for this chart. Shall I change it?

Happy to think about ways that we can do this... I'm just trying to limit myself to a one-screen view, which is perhaps the limit that we're working with.

How would we feel about, say, a view that changes every few seconds or so? (I did something like that on this site (see under "Opportunity to Join the DHRI Network" on the right hand side; a screen shot below)

Also, this is where the Excel file comes into play, which you had sent on Slack, right @mialondon?

I've done it, but please check as I added a p without knowing how it'd change the layout.

That would be great! Could people tap through the comments too for a slightly more interactive feel? (Or in v2?)

It might work well if the year was a bit like the heading, with the comment below?

And for attribution, we could do the Zooniverse user name, or a generic 'Zooniverse volunteer'.

Also, this is where the Excel file comes into play, which you had sent on Slack, right @mialondon?

It was still work in progress but I wanted to share - sample comments are on the second tab, along with a few sample summaries.

I had to revert because it would, plus the layout is going to change anyway due to the edits of the overall slide. I'm adding it as a todo here so I don't forget:

• [x] Add <p>The timeline shows the total number of accidents reported in our sample over time. Select a place above to see how local reports contributed to the total.</p> back into slide 3.

That would be great! Could people tap through the comments too for a slightly more interactive feel? (Or in v2?)

That is precisely the idea. I'll see if I can quickly adapt the script I wrote for the DHRI website for our purposes. It is written with Bootstrap in the backend so it shouldn't be too much of a fuss...

It was still work in progress but I wanted to share - sample comments are on the second tab, along with a few sample summaries.

This is great to have, and if we can stick to the same format (I'll fill back in here soon), we can just keep working on it, and feed a CSV into the script.. that's the beauty of the Observable notebooks!

It is for now! It could do with a fresh pair of eyes, and we might need to merge the summary and comment for some cases to help the comments make sense. If we can share a version then we can ask people to take a look?

It's going to be hard to view different branches from the train, how many are there at the moment?

This is the only one that's active. The rest have been pulled into the main branch.

Could we ask someone else who has been involved in the crowdsourcing? Giorgia perhaps?

[mialondon]

@kallewesterling actually it'd be better if it's someone who's not familiar, as they're closer to the visitor experience. I'm sure DS folk could help.

Found it! Slightly updated version:

'Online volunteers read thousands of articles to create this dataset. Their comments helped shape this exhibition. We’ve shared some comments for a sense of the accidents they read about.'

[kallewesterling]

Oh, I had missed this! (GitHub should really send you updates when an issue description is updated too!)

—> v2 (+ it would also be cool to add a little pulsating dot on the date of the accident...)
