Peoplefinder Update
From WorldChanging.com:
I dunno for sure, but I presume they're starting to add Rita people into the mix since some of the Katrina victims are now Rita evacuees too.
The Katrina PeopleFinder Project is a quickly-formed, massively distributed effort -- already involving perhaps over 100 volunteer techies, and data-entry volunteers -- to create a uniform standard for collecting, compiling, data-entering, and (soon) searching information on people affected by Hurricane Katrina. Worldchanging contributors Ethan Zuckerman and Jon Lebkowsky have been both developing and blogging about the project, check out their entries for the in-progress accounts -- just a couple others include allies David Geilhufe of the Digital Divide Network, Nancy White of Full Circle Associates, Rebecca MacKinnon of Global Voices Online, folks at salesforce.com and CivicSpace, and many more.The record count is higher now --katrinalist.net has 645,809 records in its database!!!!
