Field notes

The project presents a platform and a training programme as one effort, with existing Resident Associations or Community Policing Forums as its proposed point of connection. Its profile concept begins with what a resident can contribute, and its listed areas include water, food, health, safety, energy, and skills and trade. The homepage says the platform has been tested end to end, while also stating that it has not yet met a real community.
