Project Ideas
- Real estate mashup - maps of future construction and investment plans (DC city data)
- Public services and public data access for people with only mobile phones
- Map DC Food Shed / Desert
- TODO: Add Community Garden locations
- potentially an addon/extension to query nutrition data and place on the page
- use links in ingredients list for nutrition lookups
- limit by blood pressure key minerals for ranking? (potassium,magnesium,calcium,sodium)
- 2-dimensional map of nutrient/calorie (Y-axis) versus related foods (X-axis)
- Health Inspection / Yelp Mashup
- See Google docs here for this project's current status and lessons learned:
- Homeless services / social
- USDA Calorie Information:
- graph different (protein vs fiber)
- circulator data just became available
- bus information visualization
- capitol bikeshare data - and there's a scraper!
- Bicycle count locations on data.dc.gov
- Some transit related OCTO code:
- Specific neighborhoods, hyperlocal blogging
- Idea for architecture excercise - Charity Registry:
- A la carte donation interface for local shelters/food banks/charities
- Orgs would sign up for this service, and choose items that they are in need of from an interface fed by the upcoming Amazon, Walmart, or PeaPod APIs
- Similar to the wedding registry model - users then have an easy way to find charities they want to support and purchase items that they need directly. This way charities can cut down on the amount of donated items they're receiving that they don't need.
- Each week, all the donations are shipped from the service to the org that needs them.
- Wikipedia Geocoding gadget
- Wikimedia DC outreach & increase diversity:
- Workshops at local libraries across the city, opportunities for people to add info about their neighborhoods, and variety of topics.
Cool Tools and Data
