Disaster Microsyntax: Project EPIC, Tweak The Tweet, And Emergency Codes
A number of folks working with Project Epic are scrambling to devise a workable microsyntax to help with disaster relief in Haiti. Project EPIC has a larger charter, but this Haitian response is directly in its area of focus, for sure: Project EPIC, which launched in September 2009, is supported...
Rachel - I agree strongly that any Emergency Codes system has to be simple, and those in the crisis response business need to know about it in advance. One of the things that Microsyntax.org is going to do is create in detail help pages, with examples, and we can translate those into the major languages in advance.
It would be great if you could hook me up with the folks at Ushahidi and Wendy Harman, once the current crisis is over.
