== Requirements for Information Management of DRR Portal for Maharajganj ==

=== Todo ===
 * Localisation to Hindi
 * Custom Home Page/Dashboard
 * Add support for localised input (in Hindi) of data along with English input.
 * Add a "Subscribe to Updates" feature which sends a daily/on demand situation report via Email
 
=== Deployment Scenario ===
 * Online, publically accessible instance. Subdomain of gdsindia.org
 * Offline, on one of the PCs at project location. At a point this will be the main point of data entry and data will need to be synced up to online install of Eden.
  * Offline install will, ideally, also have: GSM Modem setup to make calls/send SMS alerts.

=== Users of the System ===
 * GDS Humanitarian Response Team
  * Write access to all data
 * GDS Head Office
  * Write access to all data
 * Partners/Donors. 
  * Read access to all data - I think they should just have read access to a comprehensive/daily situation reports, and any other "read" only resource that we want them to see. Primarily I think we want the system to be able to send reports to them, in a particular format daily. In future, if need be we can give read/write access to required data as and when needed?
 * Public
  * Read access to just some data

=== Priority ===
Contact List of:
 * Field Volunteers and CBOs (Community based organisations)
 * Team Members
 * GDS Humanitarian Team
 * Government Departments
 * Transport
 * Pharmacists
 * Food-material Suppliers
 * Non-Food material Suppliers
 * CSOs  (Civil Society Organisation)

=== Reporting Needs ===
(with proper GDS Branding)

==== Daily ====
 * River-water Levels (Twice: 8am, 3pm)
 * Rainfall  (Once)

==== Incident based ====
Any R&R work or distribution work done.

(This goes on to the Situation Map?)
 * Recipients through automated emails upon data entry (Multiple NGOs)
 * Current Format for recipients: The PDF file of water-levels and rainfall sent twice daily.

All the above reports should be available for public view as well on dashboard.

=== Features Required ===
 * Volunteer Management - Volunteers are selected/trained members from the village. They won't be accessing the system. - Need to record their profile info with skills/training they have received. (PR+Creating a Group named "Volunteer" can do?"
 * Person Registry (to manage villager's profile)
 * Employee Information/GDS Response Team
 * Warehouse/Inventory Data
  * How many warehouses? What workflow for adding/transferring/removing items? Procurement happens outside?
 * Messaging - Alerts via SMS/Email.
  * Using GSM Modem.
  * using !FreeSwitch/OpenGSM/FreedomFone to do Robocalling
 * Dashboard for Internal Team and a Public Dashboard with feeds. (like news room feed from http://www.gdsindia.org/maharajganj/category/news-room/feed/ [Broken Link])

=== Type of Data ===
 * Most of the existing data is in Excel/Word documents with non-UTF/non-standard Hindi fonts.
 * Flood related alerts/Water Level information and Rainfall data of forecast sites is recieved in Hindi as well
 * Locations Hierarchy needs to have names in multiple languages (Hindi, English & Local language)
 * Location Hierarchy --> State --> District--> Block --> Nyaya Panchayat -->Gram Sabha/Panchayat-->Village
 * Dealing with "India" and "Uttar Pradesh" state data only for now for this deployment.
