Web interface suggestion #861

Open tastrax opened 8 years ago

tastrax commented 8 years ago

These notes are supplied after a discussion on the HOT mailing list. Suggestions for a tabbed interface with tasks split by complexity.

A more refined web interface where actual projects are further down the page with the initial splash screen asking folks to complete some minimal training does not seem that onerous to me. Even a tabbed interface, to split off harder tasks with specific notes in the header regarding the type of work that will be involved, would make it easier to explain levels of tasks and preferred competencies.

New mappers.

Tasks in this group are ideal for new mappers using the ID interface. Check out the videos below to understand how best to undertake the mapping and how the data is used by requesting organisations. After the videos, select a task from the projects below. There will be more specific instructions under each task.
