For those of you new to the list and unaware of the EIIF (W3C Emergency Information Interoperability Framework) group, you can find references in the WIKI here http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/eiif/wiki/Main_Page As mentioned by Nuwan, it would be good for us to gradually import some of the well know standards identified by this group into Sahana. chamindra de silva http://chamindra.googlepages.com
