I would love to play but only there friday. Last time I played was fun :) I
encourage others.

Fabulous! Can add this to our short list, but ours is just temporary whilst
we figure out next steps for API discovery, working closely with the
data.govt.nz team. Is your spatial web services catalog already being
included in data.govt.nz for discovery? Happy to help :)

Hi all, we are pulling together some useful information as we kick off the
"service integration" work program again. I thought this might be useful.
If you know anything to add, particularly transactional or functional APIs,
please let me know :) would love to include Council APIs too if possible.
It is just a temporary solution but we figured as we find them, we should
share them :)

Our next steps are broadly up for those interested at
https://webtoolkit.govt.nz/blog/2017/09/labplus-whats-next/ and how we are
trying to addtrss somw big systemic challenges in government at
https://webtoolkit.govt.nz/blog/2017/10/labplus-how-service-integration-supports-end-users/

We are only just spinning up after the earlier little experiment (
https://webtoolkit.govt.nz/blog/2017/08/wrap-up-of-labplus-gaap-tranche-1-april-june-2017/)
so will start getting more involved in the awesome community here. Thank
you to all those who have made me feel so welcomed in moving here with my
family.

Cheers

Perhaps the requirement for developing APIs should be that good DX design
is applied https://uxmag.com/articles/effective-developer-experience

Thoughts?

Hi Paul, this is great stuff. Well done! The only thing I would suggest
might be worth adding is some extra measures around datauser technical
needs. We did some work a while ago looking at the "hierarchy of data
needs" which had discovery, machine readability amd API quality high on the
list. Perhaps you could add to the dashboard:

Data is discoverable through data.govt.nz (if one can't find it, one can't
use it).

Data is machine readable.

Data is API enabled.

We did some work around a basic technical data quality framework that may
be of interest.

Cheers and keep up the great work!
