After GovHack 2015 we would like to add additional functionality, by creating a web platform that allows both individuals and organisations to contribute to data and records in Cooee. We are looking at integrating a maps feature which allows the plotting of indigenous heritage locations and sites of significance.

 

 We would also like to use ABS statistical and survey data to create data visualisations to plot trends in information such as indigenous population growth, involvement in art and culture, health and wellbeing, as well as a snap shot into important topics such as indigenous deaths in custody, law and justice statistics etc. 

 

Additionally we would like to add greater search functionality, and filters such as language group, music, art, literature, film, news as well as historical subcategories such as traditional recreation and sport, belief systems and so forth. 

 

We would like to have a news feed that updates data regularly, in order to provide a central point of coverage for events such as the protests against the closure of aboriginal communities and funding cuts to aboriginal legal aid. 

 

We have taken consideration to accessibility, and currently have a text to speech feature which currently only works on the Iphone, and we will expand this to other devices. In future we would also like to expand accessibility by having voice search functionality, colour blind mode and language options.
