| | 11 | <chamindra> Basically there will be loads of requests for aid comming from the field |
| | 12 | <chamindra> by sms, through calls and otherwise |
| | 13 | <chamindra> and people will have to enter these (millions) of requests quickly into the system for tracking |
| | 14 | <chamindra> there is no time for complex workflows and approvals, so the the system has to be extremely quick |
| | 15 | <chamindra> if we can enter everything for a request in one html form that would be ideal |
| | 16 | <chamindra> similarly there will be loads of people offering donations of aid of vairous things |
| | 17 | <chamindra> often they cannot be used immidiately |
| | 18 | <chamindra> but they need to be tracked so that when a need arrises the donation and the person who offered it can be found |
| | 19 | <chamindra> This is the main objective of the request management system, to connect people wh o need aid and people who are offering it |
| | 20 | <chamindra> however to do the matching you need to agree to some measures |
| | 21 | <chamindra> I need 100 Kg of Rice |
| | 22 | <chamindra> bit the person that pledges can only offer 40Kg |
| | 23 | <chamindra> so you match it but note that there is 60Kg remaining to be delivered |
| | 24 | <chamindra> but you need to track the remain that was not fulfilled |
