Dear Mifan
we are planning to use your code to power
shelterfinder.org, as our code has turned out to be too time consuming t fix/maintain
Additional suggested requirements based on functionality that we have come across as useful as follows
create disaster instance (java earthquake may 2006, for example)
craete a new camp location and associate it to disaster instance
update/edit all fields to ensure that the data is kept current
query/list/sort camps selectevely based on location/events instance
(for example: select all camps in indonesia, or select all camps
in given village)
localise interface adding manual tags to all fields (so that a
bilingual volunteer can write a quick interface in any language at
deployment time)
also:
Data export
the only other functionality that we currently have on shelterfidenris the possiblity to
export the camps data in various format. Exporting data does not
exclude having some level of control over privacy, as this can be
designed at various levels. The data export facility enables the
propagation and use of the data across platforms, as once disaster data
is collected it can be dynamically distributed to various
agencies. An xml feed updates at runtime, so that the exported data
will alwasy be the current data in the dbase
We have also created an RDF feed, with the thought that differnt xml
feeds may want to be integrated at some stage, assuming you want to
create a virtual 'join' or a match between
the shelter feed and the 'missing people' feed - this was the idea at
the time.I am not sure if you'd like to pursue this at any stage, and
the concept may need furter refinement
Finally, the shelterfinder team and the current version of the
p2paid.org code are happy to work with you and this team to develop
sahana code further so that its going to be easy for us and for others
to be deployed and used quickly duirng any future emergencies
Let us know how can we help
Cheers
Paola Di Maio
regarding the inventory/logicistcs, we have create a p2paid functinality currently coded in php
that manages the camps supplies and tracks the supply lifecycle as follows
request is issued
request fulfilled in part of in total
recepts of supplies issued
follow up report on supply allocation and futures
it would be nice if you'd be interested in extending the functionality of your cms further
and even nicer if you could use our code.Its published on the site somewhere when you have time to look at it

Hi All,
Since I am in charge of the CR,CMS development, I'd better start off by
explaining them.
Currently, Sahana consists of the Camps Registry[CR], which is an overall
registry to manage camps. Features of the CR include:
- Ability to add,edit,manage camps
- Assign contact persons for camps
- Reporting on camps
- Total capacity of people/camp
- GIS location of camps on GoogleMaps
The Camps Management System[CMS] is meant to be a bigger system, which is
used to manage a single camp in an isolated manner. This is currently
under development. Features of the CMS would be:
- Management of a single camp offline
- Management of victims within the camp
- Inventory/Logistics management of camp
- GIS/GPS functionality
- Request Management for Camp
It would be nice to get feedback on the actual requirements of the CMS.
The CMS is supposed to be the necessary integration of existing modules
such as the Inventory Control System, Request Management System, Logistics
system etc.. We also have plans to integrate future GPS,Biometrics modules
to the CMS as well.
Lets start a discussion on this, so that we can finalize and evaluate the
requirements for the above system.
Regards
Mifan
