I have a couple<br>unrelated suggestions:<br><br>1. Give it a name of some sort that is a little less generic. Since
we<br>already do crowdsoucing of imagery. Maybe something like "Is there a<br>village?" (okay I'm terrible at naming things).<br><br>2. Is there a repo somewhere for the source code? If so it would be<br>great if there is somewhere to log tickets. My initial request would<br>be a way to zoom in, depending on the size of the damn you are talking<br>about it is difficult to see at the current zoom.<br><br>Best,<br><br>-Kate<br><br>On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 8:34 AM, Pierre Béland <<a ymailto="mailto:pierzenh@yahoo.fr" href="mailto:pierzenh@yahoo.fr">pierzenh@yahoo.fr</a>> wrote:<br>> Humanitarians are starting to access villages in north of Mali and we<br>> coordinate with them to support their activities.
