FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY

The information in this wiki hasn't been maintained for a good while. Some of the projects described have since been deprecated.

In particular, the "Ushahidi Platform v3.x" section contains information that is often misleading. Many details about this version of Platform have changed since.

This website is an extraction of the original Ushahidi wiki into a static form. Because of that, functions like logging in, commenting or searching will not work.

Ushahidi Weekly Update (#14)

We are a growing community. This weekly report is for the whole community and team to share what you are working on and what you need help with. Highlight your presentations, events, code and more. These reports will go out every Tuesday.
Date:  July 10 - 17, 2012

Community and Deployers:

About: What are you working on? What do you need help with?

Deployment of the Week: Krymsk (Mapping floods in Kuban, Russia). The Krymsk team has a large volunteer base, planned workflow and managed high volumes. On the technical side, they contributed updated Russian localization, some important Crowdmap bug, tested our new high load servers as well as provided some important design feedback.  See all the Deployments of the Week

Code:

About: What code are your working on? What needs help?

We are testing 2.5 for Code Release next week. Take a spin? You don't have to be a developer to dig in. If you have used Ushahidi or Crowdmap, your feedback is invaluable.
