Such a cool app, especially the Nearby feature and the rocket ship progress bar.

Hey, wondering if I can make 2 changes to the JSON above. One is "role" element under "team" should be an array since there can be many roles for a person. And also Notification Feed is probably separate from Schedule and has it's own data format

[KartikTalwar]

can you type out the propose json?

[sitefeng]

sure thing

@sitefeng I guess I totally misread the comment and only just realized what you meant. We can go ahead with that but I think theres not that much overlap with roles. If there is someone there for transportation listed, thats all we want them to deal with

How should we display the list of prizes in the app? I was thinking we'd want first/second/third at the top with the other prizes after, in which case we should add another field to the Prize model to help with sorting, i.e. sort: first, sort: second, sort: api, etc.

[srcreigh]

The mentors schema is lacking in how we specify contact information. I propose the following update, same as team:

[
  {
    "name" : "John doe",
    "organization" : "company",
    "availability" : [["2014-09-21 18:30:11", "2014-09-21 18:40:11"]],
    "skills" : ["python", "java"],
    "twitter": "@[TWITTER_ID]" | null,
    "email": "[email protected]" | null,
    "phone": "1234567890" | null
  }
]

[sitefeng]

I agree
