Content Synergy #24

Open WalterRobin opened 5 years ago

Is delivering an atlas enough? Once we got a working atlas it might be interesting proposing narrative content using the atlas. As much as le dessous des cartes was using maps to tell a story, can we use the atlas to propose a similar narration? It might be helpful for teachers/students trying to dive into the atlas.

We can also think of doing workshops precisely to do that! Just spit-balling here

The Atlas should have narratives for sure. This is not only factual but also expose things in a specific way

I tried a description here for a preliminary workshop I gave @dsaadesignv https://docs.google.com/document/d/1liN7RGE55vVmsQguprrPAr1w1EJIVaRbA_IzdxW0bkg/edit#heading=h.hzy8h69esu99

Also check the refs inside. Should clarify that as per #11

We need thematic pages to organise the content, instead of the current list of visualisation on the homepage.

For instance "fishing", "permafrost", "web trackers", etc so we can build knowledge inside the pages. Will make contributions easier as well, by focusing on a single thematic during a workshop - a bit like Wikipedia editathon.

Should those thematic pages be called "chapters" ?
