Mapping Tools: Log In > Zoom to the mapping area > Access the Mapping tool menu > Edit live or Save > Add geographic content (free hand or trace a GPS upload) > Tag the upload (Path Type, Slope, Surface) >Save > QUESTION – Do we save all of the changes to the map, or only the wiki?

 

Policy: Log In > Select Mapping Tools > Select POLYGON drawing > Zoom to area > Draw a polygon around the feature to be marked > Flag the Polygon by colour > Wiki the details of the issue – for instance that a section of trail will be closed for a time. > Citizens can provide routes around the closure and other feedback via the wiki.

 

City Feedback: City moderator sets up a public consultation on a river valley park > The staff member uploads a buffer around the site, creates a wiki describing the plans, including links to a website, and creates a geo network for the wiki and map that will notify those who are signed up > It would be nice if this were designed with the ability to upload 3D models, etc… > Citizens who joined the network will receive notifications of all (or some, or none) updates, comments, changes…

 

Report Events: Log in > Select Upload Media > Upload and locate a photograph (or simply create a location) > tag and describe the photo > create event wiki > create a notification for the geo network >

 

Rating of event: You notice a downed tree in the river valley > At home, log into Wiser is the Path > Locate the event by SEARCH or just looking (are events different colours from POI, other data?) > access the wiki > create a rating in the wiki > ***** for data accuracy (ratings will be aggregated and averaged, and show the range of ratings – 5 votes, Low, High, Avg) > Is it possible to create custom ratings that are user defined?

 

Moderation:  A user is accessing a Geo Wiki and notices some profanity > the user edits the wiki to remove the profanity > the user also flags the wiki for inappropriate content.  Moderator accesses the wiki and looks though the Wiki HISTORY > Finds the entry with the profanity and selects the user > the Moderator emails the user who created the profanity and issues a warning > the specific wiki is also flagged with a profanity warning.

 

Continued Abuse: The moderator monitors the user flagged with the profanity > Notices a pattern of abuse > the Moderator documents (is there an online tool that can make this easier) the abuse > In the conflict resolution arena (where?) the moderator tries to engage the abuser with a dialogue about their behavior > Warns the abuser > warns again > bans their sign on from the site.
