Re: [sahana-discuss] People Locator/Agasti Vesuvius news

[Chamindra de S. <cha...@op...>]

Glenn this look great. Thanks for doing the needful to articulate the
difference between the different versions of Sahana. Possibly Darlene can
elaborate a bit more on Mayon.

It would be great to have a similar purpose for Eden so that we can then
work to comply a clear webpage on our site that provides the
guidance/decision tree to reduce confusion for new users. In a similar vein
we can have a page for new developers that will help expand the community. I
would be happy to compile that when we have the missions/purpose
clearly articulated by each project.

Again this is not about demarcating rigid boundaries of what each Sahana
project/variant can and cannot do, but rather about promoting
strengths/focus and more importantly reducing confusion for new users.
