I met with our service partner Sara and another classmate Andrew yesterday.
Up to this point, we have built a prototype of the website for the Global Roots Garden.
Andrew and I were both super busy during these two weeks. Fortunately, the website
does not require any fancy function. Web users can listen to the stories of the gardeners
by using the Google reader mp3 player embedded in the web page. Inspired from the website
http://mycitylives.com/, people can view the gardeners' profiles by clicking on a "seed" icon
spread on a image. They then will see the photo of the gardener who is telling the story so that people feel more connected to the story as if they are told by the gardener himself/herself.
I am also responsible for creating a different language version of the website, allowing people from different countries to access.
As a result, our contribution to the community and the neighborhood is positive. We can not see any change or consequence right away since the website is not online and the stories have not been uploaded to the server yet. However, our service partner Sara is quite satisfied with our cooperation. Due to the deadline of this course, our service also comes to an end. I hope this project will help foster the improvement of the cultural diversity within the city.
