Welcome to the new Ushahidi wiki.
Welcome to the Ushahidi wiki! We are a non-profit tech company that develops free and open source software for information collection, visualization and interactive mapping.
What changes?
This space is to join the community by creating a profile, create and edit Ushahidi documentation and share best practices to complement our community site and development roadmap/issue tracker.
We will be migrating content from the forums and legacy wiki to this new Wiki. Then, we will complete a migration of this wiki to its new home at community.ushahidi.com

FAQ
How do I get a wiki account?
Wiki accounts are publicly available. Simply Set-up a wiki account and get started. Join a team.
What is the difference between a community account on community.ushahidi.com and wiki.ushahidi.com?
We created this new wiki.ushahidi.com space for more collaboration and user profiles. The plan is to integrate the wiki, video and forums into the community site. The timeline is to be determined.
What are all the tools for? Where do I add new content?
Forums: “How do I….”, “I’m troubleshooting”, “General Support”
Wiki: “Where are the documentation, best practices” and “How do I…”. Bonus points: document and share your knowledge
Github Issues: “Houston, we have a problem.” “Nyan, Ushahidi would rock it if…” (Issue/bug/feature)
Github: Commit, Pull Changes, Fork
Contact: General questions (eg. events, business endeavours, press etc.)
When will you make it possible for one community account for the wiki, community site and forums?
We agree it is confusing to have mutliple community accounts to join Ushahidi. We will work in the coming months to integrate all the community engagement points. You are welcome to help on that project.
Who can join the Ushahidi community?
All are welcome. We welcome people to join. Our Community Code of Conduct will be community-sourced.
