Regents of the University of Minnesota donations received

This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

Goals: “We hope to imagine a new way to compile and display the development of complex news events.” Nora Paul and the Institute for New Media Studies will provide a game prototype that uses community-based “scenario builder” and “dialog builder” tools that will allow community leaders, game makers and journalists to develop games using real community issues. Paul will create guidelines and documentation so that others can more quickly develop issues scenarios for games about their communities. She will blog about the game platform project and will write a final report explaining the process. Specifically, Paul will produce a script for the platform, a functional version of the simulation, a news-scenario-building procedures manual, a technical design document, technology documentation, a website for product building and testing and a user-friendly toolset that allows individuals to easily build news scenarios on the game platform. In addition, she will provide a demonstration version of a game based on the platform. The scenario builder and dialog builder software developed will […].
