Hi Mikel and Maning,<br><br>Who has access to customizing the interface? A possible wish item is to have a traditional form for people to enter an issue in case they don't know how to pinpoint the location on a map. But I think this *might* require a separate database table so an alternative to that is to let people place an approximate location and then have others (or admin-level people) move the location to the correct spot.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Again big thanks to Mikel.<br>
<br>
Here's for beta review our OSM-PH Post-Disaster Response Reporting:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
<a href="http://osb.maps.jsintl.org/" target="_blank">http://osb.maps.jsintl.org/</a><br>
<br>
</div>This webmap reporting scheme hopes to gather info on the post-disaster<br>
rebuilding efforts.<br>
<br>
Features:<br>
- Any visitor can add a geocoded report on what needs to be done within the<br>
area (garbage collection, drainage clearing, etc.)<br>
- Other users can comment on the posted problem<br>
- Other users can mark the problem as fixed or re-open the report<br>
- Download the points as GPX format which can be integrated to a GIS system<br>
or a GPS for navigation<br>
- Monitor reported bugs in given boundingbox via rss feeds<br>
i.e. reports in Marikina<br>
<a href="http://osb.maps.jsintl.org/osb-cgi/getRSSfeed?b=14.60541&t=14.65955&l=121.06386&r=121.15141" target="_blank">http://osb.maps.jsintl.org/osb-cgi/getRSSfeed?b=14.60541&t=14.65955&l=121.06386&r=121.15141</a><br>
<br>
Other tasks:<br>
- monitor and update reports<br>
- create pages compiling reports according to type and admin jurisdiction<br>
- coordinate dissemination of reports to concerned agencies who can<br>
help fix the problem.<br>
<br>
If the group feels that yet-another-webmap is useful for assisting the<br>
recovery efforts of this disaster, please disseminate this info. I<br>
already communicated this webmap facility to the typhoonondoy people,<br>
I hope they find it useful as well.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
