What Hacker News says?
For some more content on gerrymandering, I suggest FiveThirtyEight's "The Gerrymandering Project". Episode 1 goes through the two major ways gerrymandering gets applied, and also discusses that just because a district has a weird shape doesn't necessarily mean it is gerrymandered. And because I've never seen a social media post about gerrymandering favoring democrats, I'd like to add the efficiency gap chart from [2…

HN discussionYes, the main page on opentreemap.org is mainly our marketing site about the system in general. Our clients really decide how they want to spread the word in their local region about their individual map URLs. Perhaps in the future we might make it easier for others to discover what maps there are from the homepage. SHP exports: Correct, the SHP exports from v1 maps will only have a plots.shp file and no trees.shp f…

HN discussionYes! Azavea built the City of Philadelphia's official open data catalog ( http://www.opendataphilly.org/ ), we represent Philadelphia as a "node" in the Open Data Institute (theodi.org), and we are huge proponents of machine-readable, bulk, open data ( http://www.azavea.com/blogs/atlas/2014/05/which-candidates-f... ) Right now, most of our client tree maps have elected to make their raw data downloadable to the publ…
