Hi All, Sorry for the slight lull on the mailing list, but this has been due to the preparations we have been making over here to start the Sahana project....
Hi All, I have collated our current high-level plan and extracts on the Sahana Vision into one live master doc. I hope to transport this to the Wiki site as...
Chamindra as always this is excellent and inspirational work. Looking towards Phase II, would it be possible to peruse the underlying database dictionaries? -...
Sure Don, please do go ahead and make the first stab at this. AFAIK You are spot on in that: 1) one of the challenges we face is the dynamic extensibility of...
Wonder if you have any ideas on this. I am in the process of reviewing a few wikis with the following features to complement the Sahana sourceforge project...
Paul Currion is presently in Sri Lanka and we had a meeting around Sahana. Here are the main points of discussion: - We agreed defining the data dictionary is...
Hi Chamindra, all, If you would like a completely "raw" draft schema I'm more than happy to put one together - If OK I'll do this without referencing existing...
PS - For the people registry I was planning to recommend a schema based on the top level of the Interpol Disaster Victim Identification Guide - This has mostly...
Hi Don,
I assume you will be working on the logical schema first. I think it
would be good if we can capture the domain in the logical schema cleanly
first...
Hi Chamindra, Thank you again for the info - My intent was to fast-track a draft by combining development of a logical schema with a physical draft. This can...
Just to clarify on this point, it won't be a specifically UN server. The idea would be a) to create a collective, neutral space to encourage reluctant players ...
... Sounds like a good plan. Pardon my ignorance but I do not know what you mean by "load-test relationships and SQL strings" and "develop a threat model as...
Hi Chamindra, Being basically lazy :-) I develop databases using automation tools that create a database as the logical schema is developed - This way I can...
... Good idea. I looked at the Interpol Disaster Victim Identification Guide a few years ago but found that only commercial software implemented it (no open...
Hi team, A few hurdles this morning so I'm taking this opportunity for a brain-dump before taking an hour off to paint the shed to help clear the mind for a ...
... I suggest having just one user interface for all users. With XHTML and CSS this can be made to work with a limited bandwidth connection to a web browser,...

... Hi Tom, How would you handle limited mobile web browsers that do not support CSS (and XHTML). Is there a way of generated HTML by processing XHTML/CSS on ...
... +1 for putting it in-scope for Sahana II .. it seems like a relatively easy thing with high return. Chamindra may disagree ;-) .. scope creep!! Sanjiva....
agreed, relatively simple with high return. Normally managed by OCHA, often through HIC. Main data problem - definition of who is key! ... -- Paul Currion ...
Hi Tom, nice presentation - what sort of feedback did you get? I think in terms of interfaces, it's not a question of each interface being adapted for...
Hi Chamindra, all Well, the best laid plans of the weekend fell in a heap courtesy of Sober.Q causing a DOS attack against my mail gateways... Hopefully I'll...
Hi All I wanted to chip in as we start to build the schema. Using the documents that Chamindra kindly sent through, I made some notes showing how the fields...
Hi Don, This is a good start.. ... Yup I think the first think we need to do is capture the sum of all possible entities, fields and relationships in a...
... I think it is important to include this. The initial part of the form is somewhat similar to what we found in Sri Lanka too. Ultimately if our system does...
