If there is interest in making use of it, then of course we should
support that: Pakistan is unfortunately the largest crisis since the
UN began & isn't receiving the donor attention that Haiti did, so if
we can be useful in any way then we would be failing in our mission
not to try.

I'll see if we can knock up a quick module for this data...
I wonder if we can try the new Spreadsheet importer :)
(Shame we don't have 1 for PDF - not sure how possible such a beast would be)
> From monitoring the Crisis Mappers list, it seems that a person finder application is slow going as well, so that might be a role for Sahana.
Google have, again, released a localised data entry tool which
presumably we could access via PFIF to provide value-add services.

Well, I'm definitely in - will set the server instance up (quick job),
be available for customisation & guidance.
Best Wishes,
Fran.
I'll be back on Sunday evening to join any efforts.

I have set up an instance & have developed a module which takes in the
3 sorts of data from the attachments.

What we need now is Data Entry - although I have also highlighted a
few programming tasks - 1 bug & a few quick features.
Assistance welcomed :)

Do you have any pointers as to where the reports might be found?
