Pakistan Data Entry

There is a large ammount of information available from different sources. One of the goals of Sahana is to provide a single portal where data can then be analysed compiled and acessed in different formats to assist in the response effort:

• Web Pages
• Maps
• Excel

You can help by going through different sources and entering what information you can into Sahana.

Tweak the Tweet is also being ​collected in a spreadsheet now.

(Ushahidi data is being imported automatically)

If you have another source which think that data can be added to please edit the wiki yourself or contact ​michael@sahanafoundation.org (I can also give you priviledges to edit the wiki)

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.
