I agree with Dennis, Ushahidi has made very good use of the Google Maps API and already works with SMS and Twitter, the whole point of Open Source is to take up such and build it to suit specific needs. However, Ushahidi is built on a framework which means you have to stick to this specific framework on any extensions of the code (For best practice). This is a very interesting project, am interested in working on it, is it open? David. On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 10:51 AM, Erik Hersman <erik@zungu.com> wrote:

the implementation of the platform seems similar to ushahidi in several aspects. That would also be another line of thought, building this on top of ushahidi and then coding the additional functionality not provided by ushahidi, especially responding to user SMS. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet
