Top level wiki page for aerial mapping?

[Liz Barry]

Hi folks, 

I've been working on some wiki clean-up and organization. This requires a really great soundtrack, so i am open to music suggestions as well as your input about the actual wikis.  

Quick background -- 

We've just created two other top level pages: 

• https://publiclab.org/wiki/multispectral-imaging
• https://publiclab.org/wiki/spectrometry

See how they each have a grid of experiments that can be done with the method?

• https://publiclab.org/wiki/spectrometry#Experiments
• https://publiclab.org/wiki/multispectral-imaging#Experiments

And each page also has a list of versions of the actual equipment that people have made (provisionally called "builds")

So now i'm turning to https://publiclab.org/wiki/balloon-mapping, and wondering if a top level page might be publiclab.org/wiki/aerial-mapping or what other ideas do you have?

Then i can fill it out with an experiment grid and list of "builds"

Please send your thoughts, thanks!

Liz

Hi Liz,

I like the "aerial mapping" idea as a header because it's general enough to include so many things while remaining explicit about the topic. But this could be a really long page! Instead of having all the info for each type of mapping on one page, maybe the main "aerial mapping" page explaining the different types of mapping (sort of like this wiki with the listed out benefits and limitations of each type?), and then branch off new pages for experiments, methods for the different types of mapping: kite/balloon/pole and --maybe even drone?

Great to see that page you linked to Stevie!

For any top level page, it'll be short.

Hi folks, 

reviving this thread because we're about ready to move on this. 

How does /aerial-photography sound? I'd offer that aerial photography is most specific to what we are doing.

Hey folks, 

In talking here and elsewhere, seems like /aerial-photography works pretty well.

Bronwen and i are going to be setting up the Activity Grid for this page on Friday afternoon. (!)

To populate the grid, we're gonna be taking a look through https://publiclab.org/tag/kite-mapping and https://publiclab.org/tag/balloon-mapping and finding ones that would make really fun activities. 

Do you have any favorites out of those? Please send!

Thanks!

Liz

Looking around for which Starter Kit wiki pages that should go on /aerial-photography (in the style of https://publiclab.org/wiki/spectrometry#Starter+Kits),  seems like

• https://publiclab.org/wiki/balloon-mapping-materials
• https://publiclab.org/wiki/kite-mapping
  

does this look right to you?

Yes, right!

looks like that page is https://publiclab.org/wiki/pole-mapping (needs updating for sure)

Pole kit too. It's not 100% aerial but I'd say it's similar enough and leaving it out would orphan it all by its lonesome.
