Sometimes things come into view that are not in our list.

Do "other" animals need proximity set?

dshizuka commented 10 years ago

No proximity set needed for "other" animals.

@dshizuka What other types of animals might we find at these sites? I've seen a couple bears and mountain lions on Talk.

@heathv Can you compile a nice image of these extra animals, carcass/scale-split-style, fits in a circle?

dshizuka commented 10 years ago

What people have seen are: black bear, coyote, feral pig, deer, mountain lion, cow, and people (volunteers putting out carcass).

HI everyone! We had a science team meeting and have come to a consensus about a few issues, including the 'other' option: First choice is to have an ‘other’ animal option in the screen and if you hit other another screen pops up with choices on the 15 or so most common other animals we have. Second choice is to just have an ‘other’ button with no second page to go to with choices.

For both these choices we will add an ‘other’ section to the field guide with pictures of other animals and if we do not get the second page with options, we will ask users to tag photos with ‘other’ such as #pig or whatever so that we can get more consistent # labels on these photos.

I think a one-step "other" type and some "Don't forget to tell us what you see on Talk after classifying!" wording is the most practical option.

@heathv Can you compile a nice "other" image with some of the animals Dai mentioned?

brian-c commented 10 years ago

Option added; will deploy with other changes this weekend.

Brian, I wasn't sure exactly what would work here. Let me know if this seems okay....
