- I think that list on the main page should just be the roster.

- and the menu option that currently goes to roster on a separate page should instead be an internal bookmark to the roster. The more it reads like a brochure, the better.

- I dont follow this

- Anatomy of a Hit is the most powerful piece of work on the site. It lays out in very clear terms what all thsi shit means

- sorry.

Um, instead of having a list of names on the main page, just put the roster on the main page.

- oh, ok.

- well

- I dont want to collapse it.

- ok.

- i get you

- Keep the roster link on the menu, but instead of having it link to a separate page, have it scroll to the point on the main page where the roster is

- Like an inline link or whatever that stuff was? With hashtags?

- I dont think I like that. The post becomes huge

- let me try it

- I think I like it

- Is it actually Intel.ingress.com?

- [[Webpage]]Isn't it www.ingress.com/intel?

- [[Webpage]]oh gosh thanks. No. It's ingress.com/intel

- good catch

- Also maybe make it a link

- no if you do then people will click it and get distracted.

- but, here's an example of something that should be links:

- "790 Resistance agents across the world, including Niantic employees, Vanguards, and anomaly POCs, currently have access to these features directly. There is no way to know how many other agents interact with the bots they administer, but it is estimated to be in the thousands."

- changes to:

- The end of my paragraph (about scraping) and Charlie's thing about scraping are sort of redundant now

- 790 Resistance agents across the world, including Niantic employees [1], Vanguards [1] [2] [3], and anomaly POCs [however many], currently have access to these features directly. There is no way to know how many other agents interact with the bots they administer, but it is estimated to be in the thousands.

- Q4 pocs only?

- where the numbers are hyperlinks to the specific images where those people are captured, and those images are modified to include highlights around the specified people

- That’s a serious call out.

- it's the whole point

- Any interest changing thousands at the end to “five figures”

- "this is not just your rank and file, it's your thought leaders"

- Good point.

- get me the names

- yeah I'll do the work one sec

- 👍👍👍👍👍👍

- well maybe 20 mins. I need to walk around or something.

- Also you don't actually define scraping, you use the word and then refer to it as a technique.

- But you don't say in what fashion

- so make it better :) you have a point

- I'm going to bed

- This is less fact and more spin

- All these embellishments are for later personal G+posts

- yes but we're not saying those words. We're just putting the most relevant facts in front.

- I thought we agreed to let the facts speak for themselves

- true, it could be that also

- gradations are hard

- Assuming our audience is stupid doesn't set up a good start

- "here is some stuff, make of it what you will". /drop mic

- yeah ok. You guys are right

- I need to click the viewfinder back one notch

- Linking to images is just citation, not embellishment or assuming the audience is stupid. Highlights may be overkill.

- I think you link to their names in the list

- I think everyone will definitely read all the names looking for people they know

- No worries there

- But they may not recognize which are POCs, vanguards, etc

- True

- I thnk noting the VIPs is not offmark

- Guiding people along a narrative when anyone with sense can see what's happening is disingenuous and will be off-putting

- I wouldn't without all y'all's help.

- anatomy of a hit does need a narrative link. After the first set of four thumbnail screenshots, maybe a hyperlink that says:

"Here's a complete example of how it works:"

- no, I dont think we say "these are our thought leaders"

- yes. I was just talking about inline hyperlinks to the most interesting bits. The language in quotes was internal monologue, not proposed exposition

- Is there a simple way to notate VIPs without such blatant callouts (which could seem spin-y)?

- I realize that is kinda contradicting...

- Here's what this naughty behavior is. Here's a Slack dedicated to this naughty behavior. Here's the list of people in that Slack. Here's the naughty behavior in that Slack in progress

- it would literally just be hyperlinks after the pertinent categories. For instance:

"Vanguards [1] [2] [3] [4]' where the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are each hyperlinks to images that open in a new window, each depicting a RES vanguard

- Right

- I realize that

- it doesn't have to be like that. It's a feature, not a necessity. Maybe it's overkill, could totally accept that

- Names on the roster. "These are facts, here's what they are."

- 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

- lol

- 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.

- 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?

- You can modify the 'master' tab of the 'broker's guild member-channel associations' spreadsheet to list AO and any relevant notes

- What if notes are already there?

- I'd like to help with the website, but I don't seem to have access yet

- feel free to expand on them if you have something to add. There are several columns

- Send email addy to Erich, check email

- never checked email! Thank you!!

- re: notes we're avoiding personal identifying information

- as a heads up

- Okay, this is looking awesome. Are we discussing style or just content rigtht now?

- havent gotten to style yet.

- is this "392 people know about the broker's guild" just views?
