activation pages on website

[mikelmaron]

We should also have some pages on the site that list the current
activations, the current projects we are mapping on that aren't
activations, and the countries where we have ground teams currently
working.

I started some of that a few weeks ago on the hot wiki page. should be on both website and wiki page, i suppose.

Not sure how you want to break it ... by country, by time (a list of whether an activation is current or not), and

another way of displaying this info could be on a map like @MappingKat 's map (on the HOT mailing list, iirc within the past week or 2).

We could mark projects as "active" projects. And present them in a special way. A map sounds nice, and the block on the front page which shows projects could be switched to "projects that need your participation"....

[mikelmaron]

Sounds like that could work. We also should distinguish projects which are disaster preparation projects vs emergencies. Both can be active, and require participation, but the emergencies should be highlighted more urgently.

We could add flags to flag up emergencies. I thought I had installed them already to flag up the featured project but that apparently got lost when xamanu re-did the views.

[xamanu]

The flags module has never been in the code base. Anyway, as we have preparation projects, emergencies and maybe more classification in the future it might make sense to use (multiple) taxonomies for "type of project" or something like that. This way we also stay with the already installed modules. What do you think?

[mikelmaron]

taxonomy makes sense to me

[ifrik]

Okay that makes sense. Somebody should have a look at the current projects to decide which types make sense and then we can add the vocabulary and assign the right tag to each of them in one go.

Closing as it is further being discussed here: hotosm/hotosm-website#21
