Explore AidStream defaults #12

Open timgdavies opened 8 years ago

timgdavies commented 8 years ago

I noticed in testing AidStream that, by default, 'contact info' 'location' and 'results' details are turned off in the 'Choose Elements to Show/Hide' when setting up a new organisation.

Given defaults heavily influence user behaviour I wonder if this might be an important issue to engage with in seeking to improve provision of data.

There's quite a bit of overlap between AidStream's defaults and the IATI field requirements for NGOs required by the Dutch and British governments. These are the fields that overlap: • Activity_Identifier • Activity_Title • Description_General • Activity_Status • Actual/Planne_Start_Date • Actual/Planned_End_Date • Implementing_Participating_organization • Recipient_Country • Recipient_Region • Sector

If we include the fields that are default according to AidStream's Github, we could also add Contact_info, Budget, Transaction.

Could this also inform which priority fields need to be included?
