Curious is a web application for expressing curiousity about things going on at a geograhic location which returns  geotagged tweets and other media based on proximity and keyword relevance

 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.

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

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

Pending needs

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