that's not actually a callout, that's just a visualization

I see the value in pointing them out

I dunno. Erich's driving this bus, he can decide.
I'll make the information available if he wants to test it out

Link their names on the list to the Ingress post announcing Vanguards

If they're PoCs, link to Ingress' live events page for that site
They usually list PoCs as contacts there
No extra info or spin in official Niantic posts

I like this idea for the subtle knife effect, but I think the point should be to highlight them in the swamp of data. those screenshots are a lot to wade through. PIcking out the high points has some value.
the point that we could just do this in the g+ posts has a ton of merit.
AM
Amber Yeary
If they're the only hyperlinked names in the list, it will be highlighted
Like, literally

Moving on for now. I'm going to become unconscious at some point against my will and there's a lot left to cover.
I think if you change the word 'scraped' to 'extracted' in the lead paragraph, it solves Jillian's concern.
It's a little semantic and fidgety, but she's right

Ok I'm just getting back into this and like 3K messages to backlog. I see the "roster" in the drive and already found an agent I know. What info can I put in and where?
CH
Charlie Arnold
You can modify the 'master' tab of the 'broker's guild member-channel associations' spreadsheet to list AO and any relevant notes
PA
Pappy DeLong
What if notes are already there?

ok I think this is a good change:


Eliminate this line on the home page:


"This is a complete screenshot evidence archive documenting these claims."


and replace it with:


"Screenshot evidence showing each member of each of these channels is available here" where here is the hyperlink to the 'evidence' page.


The replacement line should come right after the paragraph that starts with '790 ...'
the website is at the top of the pin, but it's not in release yet so you have to get email-based permission to access

Goddamn I am impressed with all this work. You people blow me away.

I like the structure that's coming together, where the entire homepage reads like a brochure with embedded hyperlinks, all of which is mirrored in the menu. There's more than one way to consume the data, and they don't contradict one another.

a little formatting magic and a little cleanup and it's ready.


Do we already have people on the riot.one and RADAR pages?

Maybe instead of calling out the vanguards individually, just say ".... Including some Vanguards, ...." And make the word Vanguards a hyperlink to the G+ post announcing their names. Still calls them out, but in a slightly less in-your-face-finger-pointing manner. And also give a bit of info for anyone living under a rock that doesn't know about the Vanguard program.
SP

I know we haven't gotten to style yet, but I would suggest that the roster needs to be a little bit easier to take in at a glance if at all possible. Bolding of agent names and headings if nothing else, borders and color fill if we have the expertise. I unfortunately don't.

Nah. I like direct links and your suggestion regarding the post. Porque no los dos

they won't. Erich's job is to read all the things, and he's doing a good job of it.
RE

On the site, we will have the X for what parts each person on the list is in, yes? Why not add boxes to X for vanguards and Niantic people?

#edit #notes


Omnivore page:
- Capitalization needs attention. ADA should be in all caps, chat platforms named need capitals at the beginning of their names (and I think GroupMe also has a capital M?)


- Wording:
"This allows the data to be shared with local players, giving them the ability to ..."


"The ADA bot responds to the following commands:" [image]


Evidence galleries:
- photos do not display at the same size -- is there a way to fix this so they are all the same? Three to a row is still legible, and clicking on an image enlarges it
- "click to expand" should maybe be "Click on an image to enlarge"

That anatomy of a hit is so. powerful.
CH
Charlie Arnold
Yeah. It's the centerpiece of the document.
If the website didn't need to be so dry by nature, we could lead with it
but it jumps right off the menu. It'll get a lotta clicks
SP
Space TooFar - Rochester NY
Agreed! I wonder if the last line could be changed or added to. A simple repetition seems superfluous.
....what if that was the home page?
I would be sucked in immediately with that
CH
Charlie Arnold
It could work that way.
with WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE as the last line
and that goes to the current home page.


Like a splash screen
that's...pretty fucking good

#edit #notes for home page:


"Here are some examples. Click an image to enlarge."
OR
"Here are some examples: [line break]
[smaller text](Click an image to enlarge)"


"Here is an example of the system in action." (remove superfluous "it")
☝️ Either make this whole thing a link to Anatomy Of or make "here is an example" a link. Looks awkward as is.
