Work Package 5 (User Community Enhancements)
We completed the development. There were only a few days on this WP5 after the last project meeting, so the bulk of the changes were as reported there.
Work Package 6 (User Community and Embedding)
Karlyn has started to work with students. One piece of feedback was whether we can record a route. We don’t currently provide this functionality. We could add this but it hasn’t been a priority. We would have to think about how to represent the route. To an extent, this functionality isn’t the key point of the application.
We will invite the Historical Society back to see the improved version.
Authentication
We had a discussion about the licensing of the map data, which is restricted to users in UK Higher Education, and how we could extend access within the terms of the license. One idea was to set up a user group.
