Testing the shared platform

  • UK had encountered issues with wider team accessing sandpit so this impacted progress with testing (issues with deploy keys due to permissions as) which has now been sorted.
  • Output required: Chris to add to cloning guidance and Brock to check
  • Also Jekyll update: affecting Prose input – Chris investigating. Worked on non-network latptop and in Virtual Machines. Brock suggested could be issue re where switching account.
  • Action: Brock draft note re using multilingual options.
  • Action: Chris update UK cloning guidance re permissions, deploying keys

Multilingual

  • If not official UN language, more initial work required as icons etc only exist in the 6 official UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish).

Naming, location and set up of shared platform and repositories

  • Brock/Phil preference for organisation and repository to be same name
  • Wider UK SDG team felt should include ‘SDG’ in naming rather than ‘2030’ as SDG more widely used term and that platform was perhaps too ‘techie’ a term. Use of ‘shared’ or ‘open’ welcomed.
  • Issue of future maintenance also to be discussed. Phil is meeting Jen Park to discuss longer term maintenance, support etc
  • Action: Brock Create an issue: for discussion on naming

Expanding chart options available

  • Ghana have requested addition of pie charts. Brock noted US have done Yes/No graphs – fairly easy to configure to add from chart.js

Update re documenting user requirements and user journeys

  • UK team have started some work with ONS user research experts on user types and user journeys. Will be including a user type of someone who wants to clone the platform.
  • Will also be working with our African partner countries to define their requirements

Map templates

  • Chris now has examples of the mapping template live on UK site and on Ghana site eg indicator 3.9.1 on UK site. Still awaiting confirmation of contractor resource to explore integrating the mapping template into main platform.
  • Brock noted he will be exploring leaflet.js and aims to produce a POC using this. Brock is considering how could implement nested zooming and how associate multiple geo.json file with one indicator.

CKAN API

  • Chris noted that one the ONS SDG team had been exploring this. Phil and Brock offered advice if any queries.
  • Agreed that as disggregations expand may wish to revisit exploring move away from .csv format for data storage.

Technical design principles

  • Ann suggested could be useful to have technical design principles for shared platform and could use principles on UK platform wiki pages as starting point
  • Action: Ann start issue for discussing shared platform technical principles.

Poland

  • Announced at WDF that they had reused the US/UK platform though not clear which one had been forked.
  • Poland mentioned they have some suggested changes.
  • Action: Phil to follow-up with Poland re reuse of platform
