Pakistan

We have a site up to support the Floods Response in Pakistan.

Site:

• ​http://pakistan.sahanafoundation.org

A new SitRep module has been built to manage:

• Flood Reports
• Assessments from WFP
• School Reports

These can be uploaded as files, but we really want volunteers using a Mechanical Turk process to input the data into the structured fields.

We're hoping that the XLS can be imported using our new Spreadsheet Importer, so the focus should initially be on the PDFs.

Would be good to write a custom PDF writer for this format of report so we can consider getting people to enter data into DB directly.

Bugs:

• Setting a Parent to a GIS Location causes an error on MySQL/Python25 (sqlite on Python26 fine)
