Hi Ndungu, did the project only stop because of a lack of funding? and certain members pulled out..? I've also been wondering if there isn't a way to flag parcels, that have been "grabb'ed" / should not be occupied due to infringement on specified by-laws or environmental policy. Anywho. I think We'are heading to a space where this information will be available in part or wholly available via the open data portal. If in part. I suspect some very interesting mash ups will come out of it. ___________________ Sifa U.

Anywho; PS Ndemo at one time tried to recruit us to do it a few year back; with the help of Google (that time Google was trying to come into Kenya); to digitize and map the property of Nairobi..
Unfortunately and as mentioned - resistance and bureaucracy formed a strong wall - that is so Opaque and Dense even light cannot escape from behind the wall..
