Open-Innovation Program
Data.nasa.gov is the dataset-focused site of NASA's OCIO (Office of the Chief Information Officer) open-innovation program. There are also API.nasa.gov and Code.nasa.gov for APIs and Code respectively. Open.nasa.gov is the central page for open-innovation sites and acts as as a home for the datanauts program, which is a public outreach program where members of the public work with NASA datasets.

Needs footer, ideally reusable on other sites

How much of the information should be on the page vs. linked to but sit on open.nasa.gov?

The answer to this depends in part on:

1. Who are our audience?
2. What knoweldge does our audience already have?
3. How did they get to this page?
4. What do they know about the wider NASA public data resources?

Hi,
I went through the code and noticed that most of the javascript for the index.html page was inside the html page and this is not a good practice. I also noticed a console.log for a modal in the browser console and some button function being inline as well. I forked the repo and will be making a pull request. I hope you guys will accept the changes. Thank you

top menu drop-down has "open-innovation" sites which might not mean much to people? How do we make it more user understandable but yet let people know all the places they can go?

The sign in button is far enough down the page that it could be missed. We could move it back to the top right corner, but then it wouldn't have the related information text near it. Without that text, people get confused how to sign up such that they can also add datasets.

Maybe we could have clicking on a new top right sign-in button take them to the lower sign-in button? Alternatively, it might bring up a pop-up with similar information to what is farther down the page?

I'm not sure what is the best way to do this. We definitely don't want people to sign up and think they can upload data with a normal account.

WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB AT LETTING THE PUBLIC GIVE US FEEDBACK!!!

We are supposed to do a better job at this according to congress & executive branch? What opportunities exist for this on data.nasa.gov frontpage?

Are theres ways we can use metadata we have to make new matadata? This might help search. Please share ideas and examples below.

add icons and links from icons to social media sites as on previous data.nasa.gov front-age

Find link for "sign-in" from old data.nasa.gov page and put here

work on central "click here for catalog" part to make easier on eyes & simple

anything we can do to improve search from front-page?

Better instructions?
