 * Requirements/Blueprint: http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php/haiti:requirements#request_management_system

Suggest following the New Module Development tutorial as this is new functionality for Py:
 * DeveloperGuidelinesNewModule

Keep it real simple to start with - get something usable quickly, which we can then refine later if we gets needs to do so.

<chamindra> Basically there will be loads of requests for aid comming from the field 
<chamindra> by sms, through calls and otherwise
<chamindra> and people will have to enter these (millions) of requests quickly into the system for tracking
<chamindra> there is no time for complex workflows and approvals, so the the system has to be extremely quick
<chamindra> if we can enter everything for a request in one html form that would be ideal
<chamindra> similarly there will be loads of people offering donations of aid of vairous things
<chamindra> often they cannot be used immidiately 
<chamindra> but they need to be tracked so that when a need arrises the donation and the person who offered it can be found
<chamindra> This is the main objective of the request management system, to connect people wh o need aid and people who are offering it
<chamindra> however to do the matching you need to agree to some measures
<chamindra> I need 100 Kg of Rice
<chamindra> bit the person that pledges can only offer 40Kg
<chamindra> so you match it but note that there is 60Kg remaining to be delivered
<chamindra> but you need to track the remain that was not fulfilled

<chamindra> so we now have an added part of getting unstructured data from various sources
<chamindra> basicially someone is recording some information about aid, without reviewing the content and send it to us
<chamindra> first step is someone need to convert that to a request for aid or pledge
