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 has video channels on Youtube and Vimeo. We are working on a project to integrate video into the community.ushahidi.com website.  We will be integrating two open sources tools: Miro and Universal Subtitles.

Video Channel on the community site:

Stage 1:

This channel syncs all the Ushahidi videos from Youtube and Vimeo into one video home.

Link: http://ushahidi.mirocommunity.org/

Stage 2:

Add Universal Subtitles functionality to the Ushahidi video channel and community toolkit. You will need an account on Universal Subtitles to translate a video. Our plan is to start with Tutorial video localizations.

We have a concurrent project for localization and translation. This will be an upcoming community project.

Stage 3:

Fully integrate video and video search into the Ushahidi website at either  video.ushahidi.com  or Community.ushahidi.com/video. Q3

Yes, you can sign up for an account here.

Why are there so many different websites with different user accounts?

We are working on integrating the wiki, community site, and video channels into one site with single sign-on. This project is pending. We apologize for the inconvenience. We wanted to provide the video functionality as soon as it was available rather than wait for the scheduled Q3 website redesign.
