The JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit provides tools for creating Interactive Data Visualizations for the Web.

KeyLines is a JavaScript toolkit for visualising networks. It works in all major browsers, and on all platforms, including the iPad. It uses HTML5 but also works on old versions of Internet Explorer. KeyLines is ideal for organisations who want to migrate from legacy Java, Flex or Silverlight apps to the new world of HTML5.

P5 will provide mentorship, advice, and an environment where good work can actually happen. The mission of this project is to increase the number of people doing this kind of work, and to encourage newsrooms to see this as work to be fostered. We hope to establish that this is a basic journalistic function and not a faddish, high-tech gizmo, by exposing talented journalists to a fully functioning department. This is a brand new idea for ProPublica. We admit we don't have all the answers so if you're awesome but some of this doesn't quite describe you, apply anyway. However, this really isn't and can't be a program that will teach non-developers how to code. You'll need the skills to hack with us and to go back to your newsroom ready to take it the rest of the way to the finish line. More Details We're best at Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript. But if you code in some other language, you should still apply. P5 is open to people from anywhere. However: We can't sponsor a visa for you, and you'll need to have a firm grasp on English in order to communicate easily with us. We'll have a Mac with web development tools and the Photoshop suite available for your use, but if you've got a complex setup, it's probably smart for you to bring your own laptop.
