Web frontend to demonstrate Open APIs built during the Hack for Athens Project, http://hackforathens.org.
Live Demo available at
http://hfa-data-portal.herokuapp.com/
- Athens-Clarke County District Boundaries: https://communities.socrata.com/developers/docs/athens-clark-county-districts
- Athens-Clarke County District Commisioners: https://communities.socrata.com/developers/docs/acc-district-commissioners
- The current lat/lng pairs were extracted from a hand drawn KML file (using Google Earth). Ideally, someone would determine the lat/lng coordinates from the Georgia bill used to define the districts, http://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/en-US/display/20112012/SB/494.
- Currently, the polygons for the districts are static information in hackydata.js. Using the https://communities.socrata.com/developers/docs/athens-clark-county-districts API would be nice to demonstrate to others how to use the API.
- Add address autocomplete, coffee script example: https://gist.github.com/GSto/c219aa6ab0043a3cad9d
- Contact ACC or CivicPlus to see about what APIs they provide.
