I've written a beta navigation and I'd love some feedback, especially
in how it could be improved, integrated and moved to
campaigns.wikia. In its current state, I've overlayed congressional
district data on google maps, where clicking on a district shows the
current representative.
I'd like to integrate this into wikia, linking from the map data to
the appropriate entries for that person. Initially, I was inspired
by someone's idea here of showing the incumbent and his/her
challenger, linking to their bios, quotes, issue positions, etc.
The site is currently hosted at
http://campaigns.darrellsilver.com/
I'd like to move it into the wikia site, if possible. Any feedback /
advice is much appreciated.
Currently, there are a few limitations:
- no Senate coverage
- misalignment of the map at high zoom levels.
- The default view is NYC, b/c that's where I am. Obviously just
arbitrary.
TIA,
Darrell Silver
