| | 2 | A framework for creating mobile applications that work with Sahana Eden deployments is being designed and implemented. The source code can be found here: https://github.com/tombaker1/EdenMobile. The framework is designed to implement many of the common use cases for Eden. |

| | 4 | The initial implementation will support a basic app with a few different pages. The target user of the first app that is implemented with the framework will be a citizen that is in an area affected by a disaster. The first forms that are implemented will be chosen to support that user type. Implementation of more functionality will proceed incrementally. The current plan is to proceed in three phases of implementation. As phases are completed more planned phases will be made. With additional help some of the phases can be worked on in parallel. |
