== Suggested Codeathon Projects ==

=== CAP: Common Alerting Protocol ===

 * Receive CAP messages from an external CAP source.
 * Provide a form for originating CAP messages.

 * Write a Facebook app to receive CAP messages and post them on one's wall.

=== SAARAA: Situational Awareness and Rapid Assessment Application

This was started as an Android app at RHoK #3.  That version uploaded data to a very simple Heroku back end.

As a follow-on to that project, allow the app to send to an Eden back end.
 * Add an appropriate model.
 * Handle receiving uploaded messages from non-logged in users -- provide a code they can use to log in later.
 * Display the messages by category and time.
 * Allow commenting on the messages (e.g. adding updates about handling the messages).
 * Allow sending a message back.
