Help develop crisis tools: check Project Statuses July 2010; each new and active project has a list of tasks to be done. You can also help us to task you better, by adding your name to the CrisisCommons Skills List. All: coding, user experience, testing, writing, the lot! none

We also need to put related information (e.g. about camps) together so we can find it all. INSTRUCTIONS none none
Help us best describe Crisis Commons in 140 characters. Once we get the headline in English, we'd love to translate it into as many languages. We are building out our community and a even 140 character contribution can make a difference. Many brains, make light.
