Just copying here in case there's folks in Pune not on the Pune chapter's list. We're meeting up this Saturday. Pls see details below and write back to Craig on pu...@datameet.org to RSVP (venue is a corporate office so list of participants needs to be shared with them in advance).

Dear friends,
--
We're reconnecting after a while! We have been continuing work on the village mapping project in smaller groups and have made a lot of progress since the meetings in September. Wanted to now call a larger meeting (Saturday 10th December at 2 pm) to catch everyone up and perhaps get a little help on taking the exercise further.
We will have short presentations on the webapp and R work and then chat about what more could be done.
You can view the work so far here
Webapp: (put together by Namita)
and the web app features we have worked on and plans we have to take this exercise further can be found here
Besides this we have also improved a lot on the R code to generate metadata for the village shapefiles, though this exercise is yet to be completed.
We have been maintaining a tracking sheet http://tinyurl.com/dmpune17916 to discuss and collaborate. If any of you would like to help out do get in touch with us. We need help from anyone who has experience with javascript (for the web app) and R.
But we also more importantly need help from anyone interested in rural development (no tech experience needed) to provide feedback to improve the overall usability of the webmap and data.
For those who can attend this Saturday's meeting, 10th December from 2-4pm please RSVP by replying here. We need your names to provide to security. Also this is an open meeting, feel free to forward this invitation to anyone interested.
Venue is same as before -
Parkar Technologies
8th Floor, B Wing,
ICC Trade Towers (not ICC Tech Tower)
Senapati Bapat Road
Pune

See you then!

The shapefile looks great! Was just inspecting it and made a quick browsable map for others curious to explore the data [1].

Hi Arun,
Thanks! I hadn't looked into the possibility of mapbox holding and showing the large amount of data. It wasn't possible with carto. Do you think this could be taken further.. like showing the metadata on mouse-over?Nikhil VJ

Nikhil, i've made a simple data explorer when you click the boundaries https://publicmap.github.io/bites/maharashtra-villages/#9.97/18.5358/73.8980
The data used is v2w2 i think. I did some name matching in QGIS to filter out the urban boundaries (M Corp, M Cl, M C, CT) which are highlighted differently.
