== ==

== Summary ==

Curious is a web application for expressing curiosity about events at specific geographic locations and uncovering additional information about those events. The user posts an item they are curious about. Location data and the #curious hashtag is appended to the post, and other recently posted nearby media is returned based on relevance to that post. In addition to posting a curiosity, users can simply search the map for media based on a given radius from a location, the time span in which the media was posted, and keyword(s). 

 

== Key Features ==

*The essential components of the application (inputting posts and searches, outputting media on the map) are already in place.
*Currently, the application only supports posting and displaying tweets
*Curious currently works in the Web browser

== Next Steps ==
*Create mobile version, which would actually allow on-the-fly discovery of nearby media and reporting of #curious events
*Incorporate other services, such as Flickr or Facebook, so Curious can be used more like a social media client
*Create marketing plan
*Create community building/adoption plan
*Create product goals and business plan
*Document version control, project phases, log more desired features
*More nuts and bolts coding (making sure it works)
*User acceptance testing

== Use Cases ==

*A user indicates a curiosity about an event at a particular time and place. Reporters can access the collection of curiosities on a shared map and contact witnesses who entered information about the event. Reporters can then send relevant stories directly to users who are curious about specific events.
*A reporter posts a Curiosity about an existing or potential story; relevant media is returned and the reporter can watch a story evolve or connect with sources. 
*A local group could use Curious to learn more about a specific subject. For example, birdwatchers could track the time and place where they spot different types of birds, thereby learning more about bird activity patterns in a certain region.
*Could be tested at a large event, such as the Olympics; alternately could uncover info during a breaking news taking place at a particular location

 

== Project Evolution ==

 In the early stages of #hacktoberfest, similarities between Cole's Finden project and Trina's Curious project emerged and the two were combined. Tatagatha and Cody stepped in to fill technical and design gaps. Our four-day experience in Berlin was a merging of diverse skills sets and collision of ideas. 

=== Day 1 ===

*found existing mapping code
*explored js tools for publishing tweets
*had strategic conversations with other participants about potential hurdles
*decided to combine Curious with Cole's project, Finden 

=== Day 2 ===

*Trina worked with Mark to build Hyperaudio
*Cody began working on a way to combine the two projects into a unified user experience
*Cole wrote the base js code and shared it on GitHub
*T. implemented Twitter authentication 

=== Day 3 ===

*T. integrated the PHP with the frontend code
*Trina worked on the front end and prepared the project presentation
*Cody worked on design elements, look and feel
*Cole added UI functionality and interactivity 

=== Day 4 ===

*Updated wiki 
*Discussed next steps

Below are outcomes from break-out groups discuss how to sustain collaboration after the hackfest

 

=== Group 1 ===

(NOTES HERE)

=== Group 2 ===

(NOTES HERE)

=== Group 3 ===

'''General''' 

*Spawn similar hackathons (Dan: MIT Center for Civic Media hackathon? Saleem: Knowledge Media Design Institute, Stategic Innovation Lab)
*Create regional meetups, piggyback on existing meetups (Hacks/Hackers), create affinity groups within our organizations
*Some way to set up alerts when others in the network are nearby – Google Latitude?
*Reach out again to original 60 Learning Lab participants to make sure that the MoJo network stays strong and expands
*Circle around with larger group of participants who submitted ideas
*Look at different ways to keep in touch online: biweekly hangouts, (or maybe monthly), IRC? – start two weeks from now
*Shared calendar of events relevant to MoJo
*RSS feed instead of email? (Does Google Groups have this?)

'''What the group can do''' 

*Register domain names
*Create/maintain Google groups
*Web survey to see whose moving forward with their project
*Recommendation engine – skill set engine / talent database (Expand on Chris’ Fusion Table project)

'''What Mozilla can do''' 

*Option to set up our own skils/lecture sessions (BBB access)
*More competitive collaboration ideas, awards, recognition (offer even more incentives to generate ideas and work together)
*Providing showcase space online as well as server space
*Traveling roadshow – create a document or presentation that makes it easy to show off MoJo work at conferences, meetups, etc.
*Make it easy for fellows to collaborate with MoJo non-fellows

Curious is a web application for expressing curiousity about things going on at a geograhic location and uncovering what other people are saying about it. 

 

The user posts an item they are curious about. Location data and the #curious hashtag is appended to the post, and other recently posted nearby media is returned based on relevance to that post. 

 

Example 

 

 

In addition to posting a curiousity, users can simply search the map for media based on a given radius from a location, the time span in which the media was posted, and keyword(s). 

 

Curious works in the browser, but the application is most powerful as a mobile application.

=== Where we're at ===

The essential components of the application (inputting posts and searches, outputting media on the map) are already in place. Currently, the application only supports posting and display tweets, though we envision support for other media (as well as social media networks). 

 

== Use Cases ==

== '''Big Goal for MoJo Hackfest:''' ==

Work on interesting projects. Learn from everyone. Contribute as much as possible. Move a few steps closer to turning Curious into a finished product. 

== '''Key steps toward goal''' ==

#Organize a list of tangible activities for contributors with different skills
#Learn more about the specific development needs for an application like Curious (language? security? apis? existing code?)
#Learn as much as I can about the other projects. Find out which ones could use my specific skill sets.
#Help to organize the needs of each project. Connect talent with needs and foster collaboration.
#Make projects shine. Boost the collective product quality for the entire #moznewslab team. 

== '''Pending needs''' ==

#Someone who can help me figure out how to collect data from multiple users and place that data on a shared map.
#NEW: JavaScript whiz who can answer some questions

== MoJo Hackfest Projects ==

Each project should create a page where they can track goals and progress during the MoJo Hackfest in Berlin.

On that page, include this info:

* '''Project Name''': What is the name of your project?
* '''Project Lead(s)''': Who is working on this project?
* '''Big Goal for MoJo Hackfest''': What are you trying to produce by the end of the event? What will it be able to do?
* '''Key steps toward goal''': What 3-5 things do you need to get done to achieve the goal?
* '''Pending needs''': What do you need that you don't have?
* '''Link for more info''': If your project has an existing link, place it here.
* '''Link for demo''': If your project has an existing demo link, place it here.
* '''Link to source code if applicable''': If you have your source available online, place the link here

A sample project is provided below to demonstrate wiki syntax etc.

Please copy the above template text into a new page below.

If you have any questions about using this wiki, email Gunner :^)
