Plan for 2022 is to create a variant of Flyathlon (2019 version), which did not proceed with a team

(previously proposed client: Jennifer Border <jennifer.border@bto.org>)


Based on suggestion by Chris Sandbrook: Cuckoo Race

Jenni's original request:

We've done some investigation of the Strava API to allow us to access the total miles for a group. It doesn't look like this is possible so the application would need to:

  1. Manage groups
  2. Allow individuals to join a group
  3. Link the app with their Strava account so we can access their data

We've also created some data that we could use as a starting point for the cuckoo path in a demo system.

We'd also need a website for people to register groups and see outputs of all groups and a website or (preferably) an App where people could register for a group and see their individual progress.

response

Could you give us some information about “Strava”, and how a student project would have to interact with it?

I wasn’t sure from your message how “groups” are defined (groups of people or groups of birds?)

Perhaps there is another document, giving background to your discussion with Chris, that I haven’t seen? Feel free to pass it on.
