| * Part of what distinguishes Wireless Toronto's network from "normal" free wifi are our community portal pages -- the web pages that people see once they log into the network, which feature site-specific information about each particular hotspot location. | * Part of what distinguishes Wireless Toronto's network from "normal" free wifi are our community portal pages -- the web pages that people see once they log into the network, which feature site-specific information about each particular hotspot location. | ||
| * We've talked about lots of ideas over the past two years for what we'd like to see on these portal pages, and are a bit behind with our implementation. So at this hacknight we're going to hack some APIs, PHP and CSS, and spiff up the portal pages. Or at least make some progress in that direction. | * We've talked about lots of ideas over the past two years for what we'd like to see on these portal pages, and are a bit behind with our implementation.

| - | [more notes TK] | + | * we've spent two years running wifidog, and as our group is comprised of content & design people rather than hard-cord developers, the content side of wifidog has been incredibly frustrating. we need another solution. we can't spec that solution yet, because we don't yet know how our ideal portal pages would look or feel. so we'll make a simple interim solution: |
| + | * Gabe will build a php eval() content type for wifidog. | ||
| + | * Zoltan will contribute some code he wrote for a web-based php editor, using XLU. (which requires firefox on the admin side, but we all run it so that's ok) | ||
| + | * we will write a bunch of 'helper' functions to simplify the php code in the editing interface. | ||
| + | * Matthew will come up with a design concept; he and Zoltan (and hopefully others) will work on the CSS for it. | ||
| + | * Gabe will work on getting profiles working. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * for the harbourfront launch on friday, we agreed that we can fake it, and we'll put up the basics: | ||
| + | * flickr feed | ||
| + | * upcoming feed if there's data | ||
| + | * venue info is already up | ||
| + | * if we have time and the data is parseable, event listings scraped off their site | ||

| * A physical map of the Wireless Toronto network. I'm thinking LEDs, cardboard and a paper map to make a map of the network and its status that you can pick up. Of course it should be wireless :-) | * A physical map of the Wireless Toronto network. I'm thinking LEDs, cardboard and a paper map to make a map of the network and its status that you can pick up.

| + | * Set up a router to act as a wifi network sniffer. Maybe using one with a USB port and also using it with a WiSpy. This might be particularly helpful in determining if a large number of wifi networks in a given area are disrupting each other. | ||
