Bruce,

About ChileAyuda, I went there yesterday and convinced them to put 
OpenStreetMap back as the default layer of their Ushahidi implementation 
(they had changed it for Google Maps). They agree to change it on the 
condition that I give them some support with that and get a custom 
render (with more "attractive" colours that the one from the OSMF). I am 
looking now for help on getting that custom render (like a CloudMade 
Custom Style render) done but with a quick update cycle like the OSMF 
Mapnik one. Otherwise we will not see the results of the fast mapping 
efforts that we are going to do in the following days an weeks. If 
someone has any idea to solve this I will really appreciate it.

They have space, resources, good contacts, etc. I am not going to lie to 
you, they do not look like "Geo-geniuses" but they are doing their best 
effort to help. Customizing Ushahidi, creating new layers for different 
topics, etc. and have lots of volunteers doing other stuff for the 
www.chileayuda.com <http://www.chileayuda.com> website. Also there is 
people involved with their project that can give good exposure to any 
related event, for example: the idea of training the earthquake affected 
area natives living in Santiago on how to use Potlatch to include things 
that they know in OpenStreetMap.

Cheers,

Julio Costa
