I think they're captures so some individuals are represented more than once in the dots. That's fine, but I think the narrative needs to make that more clear by starting with the 63,232 number and then saying but some of these are the same individual.\r\n- **Step 2**: The descriptions of the species are useful, but the sentence for Atlantic Salmon \"They were stocked as 25 mm fry in the spring.\" may need to be simplified. Unless we're targeting fisheries people, most users won't know what a fry is and the fact that they're 25 mm doesn't seem relevant. Can we just say \"Young salmon were stocked in the spring of each year until 2004\"? \r\n- **Step 3**: now includes a map, but doesn't explain what \"Isolated Tributary\" means (I actually still don't know what that means exactly, I added place holders for explaining what each river is). Unless the Isolated Trib has significance that we explain (like salmon and brown trout were never found in the Isolated Trib because...), then maybe we should use their official names? I also think it would be more interesting to leave the colors as species in step 3, because then you can see that salmon were only found in the main branch, browns only in main branch and large trib, and brook trout everywhere (Do we know why that is?). I got some feedback that it was confusing to have both the colors and groupings change on each step. It gave the impression that only one species was found in each river when going from Step 2 to 3. \r\n- **Step 4**: is good, point is that we caught more fish in autumn because there were freshly hatched individuals. Although we could also keep the colors as species here to show that they were equally divided.\r\n- **Step 5**: again keeping the colors as species, can point out that salmon only caught until 2008 (currently in step 7). I think it's important to really stress that the change in abundance of salmon vs trout is also the result of which species were targeted. At first glance, this looks like trout simply replaced salmon. \r\n- **Step 7**: this is ok, though I'm not sure how interesting it is that some winter years had very few fish because of ice. \r\n- **Step 8**: i think this step can be removed if we keep colors as species in step 5.\r\n\r\nSo what do you think about keeping the colors always be species and just changing the groupings? Then the user can change colors on the explore step.\r\n\r\nI'm also thinking it may make sense to start off with a large map of the four rivers. When I try and pretend that I haven't seen anything about this dataset before, my first reaction is \"where are we in the world\"? Seems natural to start with explaining where the study was performed. Alternatively, we could have a separate module that simply explains the system (e.g. why it was chosen, what the different tribs signify). And then base this visualization on the assumption that the user already knows about the system. But if this module is meant to serve as the introduction to the study and we are assuming that they don't know, then I think we should explain the system first.\r\n\r\nSimilarly, a general user may have no idea what tagging is when they visit this. So it may even be worth having a step in the beginning with a picture of a fish being tagged and explaining what it is.\r\n\r\nMore generally, these last two comments get at the question: \"What do we assume the user already knows\"? If we assume they know about the system and know about tagging, then we don't need either a map or intro to tagging, but if not then I think we may want to add it. Alternatively, we could create a new module that as an Introduction to Fish Tagging in the West Brook, that explains where, why, how these data were collected. Then this would be the first way of exploring the data.\r\n\r\nThoughts?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/walkerjeffd/sheds-fish/issues/comments/247984405","html_url":"https://github.com/walkerjeffd/sheds-fish/issues/1#issuecomment-247984405","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/walkerjeffd/sheds-fish/issues/1","id":247984405,"user":{"login":"walkerjeffd","id":981144,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/981144?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd","html_url":"https://github.com/walkerjeffd","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/walkerjeffd/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-09-19T12:51:58Z","updated_at":"2016-09-19T12:51:58Z","body":"Updated the west brook story with some new text and removed steps 6 and 7.
