iSpot & EML project blog

This week has seen us able to again focus work on developing the site further, here’s what we’ve been doing this week:

• the addition of a knowledgeable user role for each of the top level groups. Allows users to have their reputation seeded without having to be classed as an expert.
• likely ID feature added. This rates each identification in an observation based on the sum total of the reputation of each user that has agreed with the reputation of the ID author, if the highest scoring ID is above a certain threshold the ID gets a ‘likely ID’ badge and is shown on the summary view of the observation.
• A bug with the oucu login has been fixed. This bug was preventing some users from seeing certain content.
• S159 students will now get a different badge upon completion of the course. This had previously been talked about but not implemented until now.
• A new login feature that allows users to login using an existing account from one of the following providers: google, yahoo, wordpress, facebook, twitter and windows live. At present this will only allow users to create a new profile on iSpot by logging in using this method but the module is being actively developed so linking to an existing profile may soon be possible.
