Someone post a summary: I have clients and can't make WedTech but am
interested in pursuing this.
Thanks-

+1 .. I'd love to hear about the current state of dataviz about my
next direction after crawling out of our recent advanced graphics
class final project. (Gawd, webgl/gles is BITCHY!)
Wedtech sounds just right.

In fact, I might know tomorrow or Tuesday about a concerted effort to
liberate some potentially interesting voter registration data from
the NM
Sec. of State. If we can get that, and it won't happen quickly, it
might
offer an interesting challenge to display -- in a user-selectable
manner --
both statistical data and geo data and a combination of the two.
And, should anyone be interested, I would be glad to lead a
presentation/discussion (WedTech?) of the recent -- and quite
impressive --
emergence of web-based dataviz tools.

OK, we talk a great deal about this sort of thing. But doing it
is HARD!
So, proposal: we build a nifty working group, composed of artists,
designers, journalists, mathematicians, and techies. We gotta lot
of
all of these now. The group would investigate "best practices" of
data viz, along with fairly easy means of doing so .. web based
naturally.
Lots of questions arise. Tufte's ideas of being as simple and
uncluttered as possible but with tons of information. What
statistics
are meaningful. Is 3D useful and if so when? How to balance eye
candy vs compelling. And so on.
Heck, we could even integrate it with a Nickensian Seminar.
