Iteration 5 signed off
Iteration 5 is now live on http://melt.staging.greenpeace.org . New features this week include
* Tabbed search results to make searching across the content types easier
* Administrators can delete and edit content
* People who upload content can go back and edit it or add more keywords
* We have a mechanism for leaving and closing discussion groups
* Homepage now shows the most popular, most active or soonest resources, groups and events
But mostly we've got a new look and feel for the hopepage. You might need to hit reload a time or two to clear your cache. It's still functional rather than lovely, but it's heading toward where we want to be.
This week we'll be adding the functionality for linking bits of content to other bits of content. More about why that's important in a future post.

Are there any plans for including geographic components in MELT? I'm thinking specifically of web-based mapping and spatial analysis tools.

Hi Tyler. There will be a mapping component added, probably in the next few weeks. The current plan is that you'll be able to display the results of any search on a map, and see the location of group members around the world.
We're currently looking for a better source of geographic data. Right now the data we're using is of varying quality for different countries - so only Japan and the Netherlands are in the system.
