+ | Functionalities (being implemented): | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Showing edible or useful wildfood sources in your area. | ||
+ | * Displaying direction and distance to plant. | ||
+ | * Providing info on edible parts of the plant. | ||
+ | * Enabling anyone (with gps on mobile) to upload new entries to the database. | ||
+ | * Providing links to expert knowledge (botanical, herbal, culinary, ecological) | ||
+ | * Report 'bad link'; if plant/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Possible extras: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Offering harvesting alerts. | ||
+ | * Report waste dumping (separate waste-map?) | ||
+ | * Mushroom determination. | ||
+ | * Join local foragers. | ||
+ | * Apply to become an editor. | ||
+ | * Add protected or endangered species without revealing exact location. | ||
+ | * Adopt a stressed wild plant (using companion planting?) | ||
+ | * Join local adoption group (game with points awarded?) | ||

+ | * Are new entries checked by an editor? | ||
+ | * Are new entries first on a preliminary map? | ||
+ | * Can we simply copy-paste content? For instance: is there a standard dataset for hazelnuts that does not have to be updated later? So if a new recipe is found for hazelnuts, we don't have to add it to all entries individually? | ||
+ | * Can bio-students do plant-determination as editors? | ||
+ | * If the user identifies the plant and names the new entry, can the dataset for that plant be added automatically? | ||
