[HOT] What are the top coding needs for the activation?

[Pierre Béland]

I dont know how realistic it is to expect that humanitarian field teams collect data.

What is certain is that to do so we should provide them a very simple tool that shows Humanitarian OSM in the background and let them add features very rapidly and simply. 

They should not have to worry about OSM tagging schema when they provide infos about schools, hospitals,  banks, or any other essential infrastructure in the context of a specific crisis.  

Could present smarphone applications be adapted with a very simple select feature, provides characteristics.

For example, they could select from a short list (ie. hospital, health service, pharmacy, school, etc.), provide a name, an address, a phone number. And click this is gone, translated automatically to OSM Tag schema.

Yes. That. I'd like to be able to give folks tasks on Saturday (I'm coordinating CrisisCamp in DC).

Has anyone been tracking particular software dev needs coming out of the activation?
