Pieren,
I just entered two sample requests in OpenStreetBug, to try. At Milot
and Diquini hospitals (real requests, just withholding contact details
for now).
It looks quite good to me, and really easy to use.
Going to put a task for an OSMbug clone with a new name in the wiki.
(I guess we shall see later whether it becomes useful to use more
precise humanitarian tagging for easier processing of this kind of
request. I imagine it could be done away from the ground by people with
plenty of time, comfort and experience to choose the right tags. I
should try to see later what Sahana and Ushahidi would think of this
extra input method.)
Maning,
Right, it looks quite good.
Were there lessons learned from it ?.
Regards,
Jean-Guilhem

Perhaps you can adapt and improve it.

So I'd say : if everybody is needing a central billboard where they can
pin their localized notes themselves, why not let it be known that OSM can
do it ? Especially if they already have it with them on their GPS or
iPhones...
And let people decide whether it is useful for them or not.
Yes and no. OSM is not just an open database where everything can be stored
for any purpose.
If you need a billboard with a map as background, we have already this type
of application. It's called openstreetbug ([1]). It's used at the moment to
pinpoint map errors but it could be easily renewed with another name or
temporarily extended to the usage you are looking for. It has to most simple
interface, you don't have to register, you can remove the notes when they
are solved but they are stored in a separate database.

Perfect Pieren !
(I indeed used OpenStreetBug when I was starting, on the 15th)
If it could just be renamed, I bet it could be very useful for this kind of
purpose...
(Is there a limit on number of caracters that can be entered ?)
I could enter the couple of hospital request I saw on CR as exemples. (One
was more than 255 caracters, but I reduced it to this without problem).
Thanks !
Jean-Guilhem
