Standing items¶
- What’s going well?
- Seems like lots of folks are talking about GeoJupyter :)
- What needs work?
- Our blog is possibly overpopulated with meeting notes in addition to announcements and analyses. Split it into two separate listings?
- Community handbook created on
geojupyter.org; should we move it to a dedicated “team compass” website? - “What is GeoJupyter?” make this information more prominent.
- Since GeoJupyter has only JupyterGIS for sometime, Maybe we can start thinking about starting a new supporting project or something to represent Geojupyter better as a community?
- Use a future community meeting to dig through our summarized transcripts of user interviews to inform this brainstorming!
- Architecture documentation
- Nicolas shared some LLM-generated documentation; how can we benefit from that?
- In hackathons, we often start work but don’t work on it again between hackathons.
- Would be useful to have more documentation to help support them between hackathons.
- Ask at the next Hackathon: What can we do to support you continuing this work between now and the next hackathon?
- Contributing to the JS side of JGIS has a high learning curve. The Python side is more approachable / familiar.
- Separate Python API into a different package?
- Can we add some Python-only functionality, e.g. a helper function that can produce static plots from the JupyterGIS document that’s been built up?
- e.g. Helper to use geopandas to perform processing, but output a file instead of updating the map; then can use other existing functions to add that output file back to the project.
- Need to think hard about compatibility, versioning!
