| 195 | '''Questions''' |
| 196 | 1. currently unclear on the scope of the customizations required. |
| 197 | Minimally we can provide a custom template which will include a customized homepage with your Logo and the relevant modules enabled/disabled with some reordering of menus & relabelling to match your context. It can, of course, go a lot deeper than that if you have specific requirements. |
| 198 | Currently I have no knowledge of even which modules you intend to use. |
| 199 | Which languages does the system need to be available in? |
| 200 | The default is English, we have some of the system translated into French, but this may need some work to complete. Luckily I can speak French as I went to a French-speaking school in Brussels for 3 years as a child. Do you want to work on a translation into Seychellois? |
| 201 | |
| 202 | Where do you plan on hosting the software? |
| 203 | We normally use Amazon Web Services, but are you planning to host in house? |
| 204 | Due to the specialist nature of the tool, we generally recommend that you see it as a SaaS solution rather than managing the server yourselves, although it is certainly possible for you to manage it if you have the requisite skills |
| 205 | |
| 206 | Will it be delivered via a URL like https://sahana.drdm.gov.sc or https://drmis.drdm.gov.sc ? |
| 207 | Ideally this should be up and running before the training of-course. |
| 208 | I can, of course, assist with the installation....if this is SaaS then I just need you to handle the DNS & SSL certificate. |
| 209 | |
| 210 | Do you have data available that you wish to import into the system? |
| 211 | I see some data on HDX: https://data.humdata.org/group/syc |
| 212 | - the airports, for instance, could be worth importing |
| 213 | - however this doesn't include the Administrative Boundaries which are generally the most important data to load. I can get the Districts from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seychelles#Administrative_divisions) but if you had the Polygons (e.g. Shapefile) that would be great. |
| 214 | |
| 215 | Seeing the data that you currently work from also helps give an idea of the workflows you want to make use of & the degree of customization required to get the system to fit. |
