Taiwan

Sahana Taiwan are customising & deploying an instance of Sahana Eden.

Initially this is to complement their ​Sahana Agasti deployment.

The proposal is for this to replace Agasti completely next year.

Functionality they are interested in:

New Home Page

• Allow unauthenticated users to 'Report Incident' (Missing Person, Request Help or Incident) or 'Offer Help' (Volunteer or Pledge Resources)
• provide top-level stats about # resources registered in system
• Map overview

Mapping

Configured to use openstreetmap.tw & Google layers

Want to be able to overlay data from Agasti onto the Eden Map:

• Shelters

Locations Selector

• Use Taiwan's 4 levels of hierarchy
• Local Geocoder service to allow users to enter street address
• Select from Map

Messaging

• A local SMS Gateway is working with the system.
• This has been tested with ​Big5 encoding.

Authentication

• Want to be able to have users login once to access resources on both systems.
  • OpenID support has been added to Web2Py/Eden
  • Rewrite Agasti to access Eden user table? auth_user
    • Better to hack the legacy Agasti rather then the end-goal Eden

Authorization

• Want defined Roles to be active on both systems
  • Memberships should only be defined once
    • Rewrite Agasti to access Eden membership table? auth_membership
      • Better to hack the legacy Agasti rather then the end-goal Eden
• Need support for the 'Shelter Administrator' role

Localisation

Translation into Chinese is underway
