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.

Congratulations to Ajay Kumar and his PowerCuts.in team for winning the m-billionth Awards 2012: m-News & Journalism Category. The Powercuts.in is an excellent example of a long term project by a deployer. They've scaled for mobile and have audio report capability. Sadly, the award comes at a time when many people in India are suffering a large scale power outage. Follow @powercutsIN online for the latest reports. If you can give them a hand, please file reports on their map and contact them.

Into the Code:

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

SwiftRiver code is PUBLIC and on github. We remixed the code and are ready to take it to the next level with you. SwiftRiver remains in beta. If you don't have an account, you can beta sign here.  Issues can be tracked via this google form, or for the tech savvy, on github. In the coming weeks, we will hold a  DAY OF SWIFT: a community test party in Nairobi and online.

We held a brief Community Developer call on Monday. Here is the recording: July 30, 2012 Commuity Developer call audio recording (Mp3)
