We've made the CKAN version read only in the past. We should make it read only again when the new launch is just weeks away.

Compare these two and add more metadata.

UI: Make layout responsive, e.g. 1-2 horizontal cards per org (Bootstrap component)

Forked from #6

Tim already has a WIP for this, but we should see how we can accelerate this as many of our other changes get more complicated if we don't do this first.

If possible, let's do a quick pass to see what can be improved from a user perspective. Time box and make new issues if bigger tasks.

The goal would be to contribute to upstream, but to show lots of datasets this repo may be more useful sooner.

The upstream repo is currently at: https://github.com/timwis/jkan/tree/v2.

Notes:

• part of the goal was to have most functionality work without javascript.
• we are not planning to use the editing bit (was Netlify CMS) for OpenDataPhilly

hope to have a better test site up with data soon, but for now the most up-to-date site is https://bryanquigley.github.io/jkan/

But basically the current https://www.opendataphilly.org/ looks better. Some functionality we are just going to lose moving from CKAN to JKAN (doing for less maintenance/cost going forward)

The goal of this ticket is to identify usability or other design improvements that don't require adding functionality.

We no longer have a footer (there's a file, but I think it's empty), which has removed the Contact page (which included the Google Group and the [email protected] info) and the Terms page, which included disclaimers on liability.

This is report from @Kistine about trouble finding data sets:

as I went to search for a dataset I know is listed under a data entry, no results showed. Is there any way to improve the search feature so that it will display dataset entries based on details within the entry, not just the title of the entry itself?

LNI has been updating a dataset (currently called 'subcontractors') and it's to be replaced with the updated dataset called 'Permit contractors.' When I search on the ODP page for 'subcontractors,' it displays 0 results. In this case, I know that the subcontractors dataset is filed under the LNI permits dataset. This will significantly affect end-users being able to find relevant data. On the editing end, I usually search before I add a dataset just to make sure it doesn't already exist somewhere to avoid duplicative entries.

This will improve the situation that we're currently not addressing in #39

should include

• add/edit content
• testing instructions

See #47

I already did a good amount of this here:
https://github.com/BryanQuigley/data_portal/tree/bryan_forking_for_opendataphilly

We want to be able to track upstream easily and have other contributors to ODP here. What needs to be considered to make it so we have very little chance of merge conflicts between us and upstream.

Should also include branch names etc. Maybe we should have our changes in a separate branch?

Do upstream improvements, can wait on #10 if helpful

1. UI: Sidebar: Increase spacing between Categories and Organizations
2. UI: Sidebar: Change count pill for selected category and X button to white background
3. UI: Results: Increase spacing to make list more legible

Likely worth waiting for #10, contribute upstream

Suggested feature: Add the ability to include a custom header image (See Bootstrap example “Responsive left-aligned hero with image“ on https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/examples/heroes

Likely worth waiting for #10, contribute upstream

Suggested feature: Add a search box to the homepage to match old OpenDataPhilly site. On submit, forward to Datasets page and populate search there.

I'm concerned we're missing a dataset, and wonder if it's due to a recent pull request. However, it's also possible that the constricted search just means I'm having trouble finding it. I'm looking for L&I's Building and Zoning Permits dataset - it used to be filed under https://www.opendataphilly.org/dataset/licenses-and-inspections-building-permits

We recently updated it to include 'permit contractors' to help it show up in searches. When I searched 'building,' 'permits,' and 'zoning' or 'contractors,' I'm not finding it. Let me know if I'm just overlooking it in the search results.

Most of our data is covered by that, but it's not defined in ODP-jkan so it shows nothing on those fields

Once the homepage/datasets are in a good enough place - we should make the JKAN version the default.

Markdown links like those seen here are not rendering correctly as inline links.

Currently docker compose is not working, possibly because of a broken upstream jekyll docker image.

These steps should assume running on host with Jekyll.

There are HTML tags (and possibly some markdown) in dataset descriptions. These are being display as HTML, rather than interpreted.

I don't know if we should treat this as a bug or find a way to strip out all of the tags and replace them with line breaks. Some examples in search results and on a data set page below:

We want a CODEOWNERS file that will automatically request a maintainer-reviewer on each PR, and additionally request someone from the city whenever a city dataset or the city org is modified.

https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-code-owners

This depends on #10 and #12.

Start by creating next.opendataphilly.org as the Github pages host.

This will be the "staging" site, and we should for the time being build off of merge requests to.

Ideally this should be an upstream improvement that we get feedback on. Some feedback already in timwis/jkan#253

Needs #10 first

1. UX: Rename “Start browsing” to “Browse all datasets”
2. UI: Improve Category list:

• Use a card component
• clarify hover state (highlight card/icon, not just text underline)
• Left align cards if they don't fill the entire row (use CSS Grid)

https://next.opendataphilly.org/organizations/athen%C3%A6um-of-philadelphia/

The Athenæum of Philadelphia shows a badge with 2 datasets on the organizations page, but when you get into the organization, they show only for a second then disappear. I think this has to do with the "æ" character in the name, but I'm not positive.

If this is an issue upstream, it would be much better to contribute a fix upstream then rebase it in.

There is a "Open in GitHub" link on the bottom of the left-side gutter. Clicking on it generates a GitHub 404 error. This link appears on each Organization and Dataset page. The link structure is:

• Datasets - https://github.com/azavea/opendataphilly-jkan/edit/v2/_datasets/act-test-scores.md
• Organizations - https://github.com/azavea/opendataphilly-jkan/edit/v2/_organizations/pa-department-of-education.md

DVRPC has recently deployed a new CKAN instance hosting metadata on 157 data sets. OpenDataPhilly previously hosted several DVPRC data set entries but they were not maintained, and they asked us to remove them a few years ago. We now only host entries for 4 applications.

DVRPC would like to maximize exposure of their data and is supportive of the idea of having their dataset entries hosted on OpenDataPhilly, but they don't want to maintain two sources of truth.

The suggested approach would be to have DVRPC either publish a data.json that ODP harvests, converts to markdown, and adds to the datasets files or have them generate MD files that ODP harvests from a known location. There may be other solutions as well, but these were the initial two that we discussed. This harvesting would be done daily or weekly, perhaps through a GitHub action.

From #6, reordered so I can make issue easier.

• #10
• #14
• #13
• #12
• #15
• #16
• #17

Also doesn't need to mention JKAN on homepage.

The icons might be easy to fix, I think it's just a sizing and color thing - they would look better if they were sized more proportionally to other page elements and had a color matching the theme.

Organization description text is centered and would be easier to read if it's left-aligned.

I think the correct URL is this one: https://www.opentreemap.org/phillytreemap/map/

We aren't deploying to Netlify so let's turn them off.

I think this can just be done in ODP, but if it's easy to make conditional on building on Netlify or something we could do that upstream

There are 14 catalog entries for SEPTA but many of the resources have been moved. In addition, SEPTA has released new data sets that are not listed. We need to take several actions:

• Review existing SEPTA entries for accuracy and availability
• Review new SEPTA open data resources and add or consolidate where appropriate:
  • GIS data portal on Esri - https://gis-septa.hub.arcgis.com/
  • Ridership dashboard - https://data.septa.org/
  • Developer API portal - https://www3.septa.org/
• Fix SEPTA logo (reference https://opendataphilly.org/organizations/septa/)
