Dear Frances,
Welcome back!
I'm setting up the system now, but it will probably be a day or so until
we can start data entry. I think it would be useful to work out what
the information gaps are at present, and where we should and can best
fit into that. My feeling is that there is information needed about
refugee camps (shelters) but also hospitals, and maybe other
infrastructure too.
Would be good to scope that out now, and get some sense of where
information may be coming from, and who will need it. I'm making
changes to the system according to what I anticipate, and what would be
useful for other disasters too.
I've got a fresh wiki running on www.shelterfinder.org - lets use that
for any planning.
best wishes
Anand

Hi Angelo,
That is the URL of the old KH Wiki - we have moved to one on the same site as SF now:
http://www.shelterfinder.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
or just plain
http://www.shelterfinder.org/wiki/
Would be useful to see this GIS data - please zap it across, Angelo or Wendy. I can also do rough geocoding dynamically for Indonesia dynamically using Geonames, as people add other data. I'm attaching a dump of their data, although I'm not sure, however, how useful importing large tables of GIS data will be at this stage. It may swamp the system and user interface for the mapping - probably better to start with key places we have some info for. I'd started to process local village names to import, and assuming we'll want to link/add any snippets of information we can glean about locations like villages, shelters, hospitals.
It is an opaque clutter of information that I'm seeing at the moment... I think we can help by mapping some of it, but setting up an obvious place where data can be maintained, status updated. I'd find it useful to know what others are seeing and thinking, at this stage - lots of activity without clear shared direction will lead to wasted energies.
Below is the field structure I'm now using for ShelterFinder. This is based on abstracting from the US-based shelter data, to try and accomodate village data from Pakistan last year. There is useful information about Indonesian regional names/administrative structures at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdivisions_of_Indonesia
Will make some changes this morning, to allow direct entry to the site. I'm then collecting someone from the airport so busy the rest of today.
