Forrt Community Mapping
Hi @forrtproject/team-website
I'm working on the Forrt Community Mapping using Shinnyapps.io. Could you please check out the draft here: Forrt Community Mapping (Test)? I'd love your feedback and suggestions before finalizing it.
Thanks

Hi there @richarddushime , I love this <3
It is a really good start mapping the community's distribution across the globe!
The branch seems to have a conflict somewhere. Can you update it?
ps: we should probably re-think "Forrt Mapping". We have a "Mapping OS" in our educational nexus, and we have "Community" in About menu. So perhaps we can call it "FORRT Network"? I am super open to ideas. I don't think my suggestion is great. So if anyone has better names @forrtproject/team-website , please feel free to chime in!
It would also be really nice if it opened in a new tab, rather than the same tab when you click on it (so that folks still have a tab open w/ our website).
To open the app in a new window and mask the URL so that it looks like it is on forrt.org, we can follow the model I just added to the replication apps in https://github.com/forrtproject/forrtproject.github.io/pull/181.
Re name, I would suggest we call this community and replace the current community page - I am not sure if the current community page is helpful, as it is so incomplete and does not contain any information on the individuals displayed - and would require a fair bit of work to be more useful than this? If we want to keep the community, then maybe this can be called community map? I am not so keen on network, as that sounds more like partnerships to me?
I like Community, and Community Map.
re: the community page: I totally see your point!
The reason we have it is that people needed to have a page where they can say I am a part of this. It preceeds the credit page, and it is useful for some members (but not the whole community). We can absolutely re-think the community page (and improve it) as part of team website!
Dear @richarddushime , the branch says there are conflicts which maybe you know how to resolve?

Sure , I will resolve this ASAP Thanks
@richarddushime just pinging you again to resolve this conflict :) would be great to add to the page
Hi there @richarddushime so sorry for my delay, it seems that there are conflicts for the menu again. My fault! Sorry! This looks good. I was also wondering if we cannot do something like the amazing folks at PSA: I will paste their map here (I think they do it similar to what we do, but they use Jitter for the points (instead of large circles). I think can display both but theirs is a really nice way too that works best for slides/presentation in my opinion. Super OK if not possible!
Well its nice but I think the one in the PR is better due to features the map has like the bigger the point the higher the number of people in that area different colors too
secondly would you also suggest which one we are going to use ? either the shinny app or the HTML file ???
Then I could focus on improving the selected one
This PR can be closed too
it's the old version of the FORRT Mapping PR #214

Hi @richarddushime , can you point me to the html file you are talking about? I am not sure what it is. I love the app for what's worth :)
The suggestion of the picture above is just a way to represent things in a different way. I like the way we do it in the map, but it emphasizes (a lot) Europe, so I am trying to find ways to highlight our diversity. Also, you should know I can be a little 'too much' regarding Visualizations of data: https://flavioazevedo.com/visualizations
I saw your other comment, so we probably want to close this PR as well? @richarddushime ?
