####Agenda

####Review

####Big Ideas

####Article

Insular Biogeography good summary of key points (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_biogeography)
Factors affecting biodiversity: island size, age, etc

####Proposals

which subset of species are we looking at? birds (well documented though migration an issue?)?
need to normalize across different attributes of islands (very complicated problem not able to solve in 2 months)
just compare biodiversity among islands
how to find open data, dark data, and missing data
estimate with island size and other factors (island biogeography)
github pages website and javascript, and static data to begin with
add social context
look at birds in particular

####Notes

Not Berkeley time!
share knowledge and collaborate
build tool that allow you to see difference between what we think we know about a certain island and what is actually available
few different islands with people associated with those islands (not just specific to one)
idea to have consumer report on how complete is the species list (check list) of a certain island
progress bar for completeness on "open data", "dark data", "missing data"
tools for "open data" (not easy but it's there called effechecka.org)
"dark data" contacting appropriate scientists/researchers
"missing data" on island biogeography (won't change until extinction) -- function that allows us to estimate number of species (look at parameters being area, climate, etc... to predict missing data)
