Let us discuss what we must do to make this site as useful and successful as can be.\r\n\r\n![screenshot](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/595778/6401454/586e6b38-bdb5-11e4-89ec-8a36267bdf87.png) A demo screenshot of a Brigade project list\r\n\r\n#### The Audience\r\n* Neighbors looking for finished projects that are already set up for their use in their neighborhoods.\r\n* Brigades looking for finished projects to redeploy in their cities.\r\n* Brigades looking for projects that still need work to point new volunteers towards\r\n* People looking for all available apps within certain category - transportation, health, etc\r\n* Press\r\n\r\n#### Features\r\nThe site should show off all of the Brigade projects in a filterable way, while encouraging discussion and contribution.\r\n\r\n#### Inspirations\r\n* https://www.gov.uk/transformation\r\n* https://18f.gsa.gov/dashboard/\r\n* http://opengovhacknight.org/projects.html\r\n* http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/projects/\r\n* http://v3-brigade.herokuapp.com/projects\r\n* https://www.govcode.org/repos\r\n\r\n#### Discussion Tasks\r\n- [x] Have a discussion about what is needed on a good projects list\r\n- [ ] Do some other user testing\r\n- [ ] Decide on the best technology to build it in\r\n\r\n#### Technical Tasks\r\n- [x] Add the `status` column to the CfAPI as in [CfAPI #133](https://github.com/codeforamerica/cfapi/issues/133)\r\n- [ ] Add the `tags` column to the CfAPI as in [CfAPI #193](https://github.com/codeforamerica/cfapi/issues/193)\r\n- [x] Build better search functions in the CfAPI as in [CfAPI #194](https://github.com/codeforamerica/cfapi/issues/194)\r\n- [ ] Build the /projects page!\r\n\r\n#### History\r\nCode for America has attempted this before, creating sites where there was an unsustainable amount of effort needed to keep the data up to date. We've solved that problem now that we have an always current civic technology project list from [the CfAPI](https://github.com/codeforamerica/cfapi)\r\n\r\nAs this page will most likely live on the Brigade website, I'm starting this conversation here. The history of the Brigade site is:\r\n* v1 - [online](http://old-brigade.codeforamerica.org/) - [Code](https://github.com/codeforamerica/brigade/tree/master) - A Rails site with many contributors. It served the Brigade well as it was growing. As Code for America became better at supporting the volunteer groups, we needed something different.\r\n* The CfAPI was built as reaction to how Brigades were operating themselves. We now meet them where they are, instead of trying to get them to log into our site.\r\n* v2 (production) - [online](http://www.codeforamerica.org/brigade/) - [code](https://github.com/codeforamerica/brigade-alpha) - Powered by the CfAPI and works great, yet is built quickly with PHP and Javascript. It is kind of a cobweb of dependent parts, and will be hard to have lots of outside developer help on it.\r\n* v3 (under development) - [online](https://v3-brigade.herokuapp.com/) - [code](https://github.com/codeforamerica/brigade/tree/v3) - A Python Flask app built for quick and easy improvements.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/codeforamerica/brigade-alpha/issues/comments/90192733","html_url":"https://github.com/codeforamerica/brigade-alpha/issues/89#issuecomment-90192733","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/codeforamerica/brigade-alpha/issues/89","id":90192733,"user":{"login":"ondrae","id":595778,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/595778?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae","html_url":"https://github.com/ondrae","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ondrae/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-06T18:44:05Z","updated_at":"2015-04-06T18:44:05Z","body":"Hi everyone. We added some new features to the CfAPI that should be useful for the projects pages\r\n\r\n@volkanunsal added search! The docs are at http://codeforamerica.org/api/#api-projects\r\n\r\nSome examples are:\r\n http://codeforamerica.org/api/projects?q=Bicycle\r\nhttp://codeforamerica.org/api/organizations/Code-for-San-Francisco/projects?q=Bicycle\r\n\r\nWe also added support for a project \"status\" attribute. I still need to write some docs for how to include it. You either add it to your projects list spreadsheet or if you use a GitHub org account as your list, you can add a civic.json file to each project. BetaNyC has examples https://github.com/BetaNYC/citygram-nyc/blob/master/civic.json. Clearer docs for status coming soon, but wanted to let you all know. "}}
