For making admin updates, it would be nice if there was a mode which allowed changing the data for the feature and exporting the updated data.

Ideally, this would allow deletion of features and simple editing of properties.

togeojson.com

There's a http://csv.togeojson.com and http://arcgisjson.togeojson.com. Users could convert their data there and bring the data into Finda.

If we go this route, we should write docs / tutorials for users on how to do this.

Less promising: SeedFu

The gem SeedFu has a Writer module that converts a CSV to a JSON-like fixtures file. We might fork that to create some sort of conversion tool.

Hey all. I'm at FOSS4G right now and they're using geojson.io for data editing. It seems to have both geo and table views, and you can change positions etc in there.

I recommend we play with geojson.io, and if we like it, write up a tutorial for Finda deployers.
