14. What’s New ?
A Python based rewrite using
MVC frameworks and highly-
interactive Web 2.0 UIs.

15. Sahana
Software Foundation
Agasti Eden
(PHP) (Python)
LGPLv3 MIT

16. Why a Rewrite ?
• The old code is hard to maintain and
hard to integrate GIS and Messaging
• Using a framework allows to focus
on the user-facing application.
• An experimental branch within the
main project rather than a fork.

17. Python Advantages
• 需求變異大 • Agile互動開發方式
• 開發時程短 • Web2Py快速開發
• 多樣資訊整合 • 豐富函式庫支援
• 開發資源有限 • 社群成長及投入
• 回應大量網頁要求 • 搭配雲端服務

18. Haiti Response and Relief

19. Rapidly-changing
Requirements
• Missing Person Registry
• Mapping
• Organization Registry
• Hospital Management
• Volunteer Registry
• WFP: Food Request Portal

25. Deployment Perspective
• Select Modules according to the Response
and Relief Needs
• Leverage the Experts and Volunteers
– GPS / GIS / SMS / PFIF / Crowdsourcing
• Early Deployment helps Trust Relationship
established
