Abstract

How does Mātai Manapori - TrackDem work and how did we make it happen? In this talk, we'll share what went on 'behind the scenes' and what's 'under the hood': our data model, front end, and workflow. We'll also share our learnings and insights from the project, and talk about the bits that didn't make it.
