It is more an issue of maintenance, etc.\r\n\r\n**I (vastly) prefer a javascript app for the dashboard.** \r\n\r\nIn contra to the Open Data Index site, which is essentially a \"push once a year\" thing, the spend dashboard will have to handle many more data updates, fairly consistently over time.\r\n\r\nPros/cons:\r\n\r\n### JS app pros\r\n\r\n* Clear separation between data and code\r\n* Do **not** need to redeploy app in order to update **data**\r\n* Maintenance of **data** does not require developer/git-savvy user\r\n\r\n### JS app cons\r\n\r\n* Possibly increases development time\r\n* Possibly makes it harder for designer to work on code without developer\r\n\r\n### Static app pros\r\n\r\n* No javascript required to get data, so pages are discoverable via search\r\n* Possibly leverage existing OK resources for templates (Jeykll)\r\n\r\n### Static app cons \r\n\r\n* **Have** to deploy code in order to deploy new data!\r\n    * Ongoing maintenance of **data** therefore includes a developer, or at least someone who can use git"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/okfn/spend-publishing-dashboard/issues/comments/78010086","html_url":"https://github.com/okfn/spend-publishing-dashboard/issues/7#issuecomment-78010086","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/okfn/spend-publishing-dashboard/issues/7","id":78010086,"user":{"login":"pwalsh","id":791678,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/791678?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh","html_url":"https://github.com/pwalsh","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pwalsh/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-10T08:03:13Z","updated_at":"2015-03-10T08:03:13Z","body":"Closing this."}}
