Mapping Lost and found items with ushahidi.
I was thinking of using ushahidi to create a map that enables good Samaritans to map lost and found Items like valuable things and passports e.t.c. The map could also help the ministry of immigration deal with the headache of lost ID's. Instead of reprinting IDs they could just search for it among the lost IDs that will be crowd sourced. I want to know what you guys think. I know some guys had that idea in the IPO48 event although it never got off the ground. Thanks in advance.

Go ahead and do it, whether it has been done or not, but learn from others and don't forget to have a unique feature missing/poorly done in others On 8/10/11, Brian kiprop <kipropbrian@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks peter, and Eliud too. I just want it as a 4th year project and then probably host it on my website. Plus now they want to charge guts 300 bob to replace ID's there could be some mullah there. On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 10:32 AM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:
