Hi folks,
Complete newbie here, so please forgive any wrong assumptions. I'm very impressed with the apps that have been developed by members in this forum, and have yet to publish anything in the marketplace. As I'm sure you have too, I've been watching the pictures from Japan since the weekend, and I think it's safe to say that a state of emergency will exist for at least the next month.
While the apps developed here are incredibly useful (possbily even life changing), I think this community should be able to develop an application / application(s) which would be of even greater benefit to those missing loved ones / looking for information in the aftermath of this disaster.
Personally I would like to see an application to could tie in news & information with a map overlay. If it was possible to tie in with a list of people who are safe (possibly tie in with Google's people finder), I don't know, I'm open to ideas. But I think there's enough talent in this community to produce a powerful, co-ordinated, effective app that could have people in the light of this week's events.
If anyone (with more experience than I) is willing to work with me and others on this, please reply here. I have a CVS repos ready to go. I don't think it's too ambitious to have something produced by the end of the week, and maybe we can help some families who are missing loved ones.
kindest regards,
Michael.
