    An interesting and informative session. Thanks to everybody concerned. Looks like a few of us here are gearing up for 'further research' and I too look forward to playing with any new toys. 😉

    Since the project is still relatively new, we're still all getting familiar with the data. We did a lot of discussing of tools for Planet Four, but many of the things we'd need to do would take more than 3 days, but it was really good brainstorming of the things that we'd want to do and what web tools we need for them (and some of that would take significant work to learn or track down). . We spent a lot of time looking at the HiRISE images and trying to sort what we could do in the browser. So I'm hopeful, we'll have some advanced tools for Planet Four eventually, but as I said in the live chat Mars is hard, but we now have some developers who are really keen on working on Mars, so if they do this workshop next year, who knows might be lots of things for Planet Four.

    Cheers,

    ~Meg

    Sounds exciting stuff for the future! I enjoyed the live chat too. I hope that the developers ||who are really keen on working on Mars|| get a return ticket! 😮
