How IndiaTemperatureMap follows PDGI

An open, hyperlocal India temperature and heat platform (Leaflet, multi-source). Built on People's Digital Goods & Infrastructure (PDGI) principles — people before digital, rights-centric, commons-oriented, transparent (pdgi.org).

This is a public scorecard of how those principles are implemented here, with honest notes on where it falls short. It was generated from a repository audit (2026-07); update it as the code changes.

Scorecard

People before digital — ✅

Faithful multi-model rendering; per-source NOTICE attributions; spread flags.

Transparency and accountability — ✅

Open repo; Python fetchers; public sources; methodology in the README.

Decentralisation and no lock-in — 🟡

No account, forkable; JSON/CSV data files but no in-app export button.

Free software and the digital commons — 🟡

Open code; the non-commercial clause is being dropped (BY-NC-SA → BY-SA) to reach the commons.

Privacy — ✅

No third-party analytics or trackers; no PII collected.

Platform cooperativism — 🟡

Correction path added (CONTRIBUTING + issue template); no in-app contribution.

Humans in the loop (AI does not cut people out) — —

No AI / MCP / API surface.

A non-digital alternative — 🟡

CSV/JSON artifacts in the repo; the app is JS-only with no no-JS / print view.

Grassroots and reaching the divide-affected — ⛳

English-only, expert-oriented UI. Direction: vernacular access.

Algorithmic fairness — —

A visualisation/catalog; it makes no decisions about people.

Overall: 3✅ 5🟡 1⛳
