photo Dead Ushahidi To end up in the Ushahidi cemetery, at least one of the following is true about the maps here: No one (let alone a crowd) has submitted a report to the map in the last 12 months. For time-bound events, like elections and disasters, the number of reports is so infinitesimally small in relation to the affected community that the map never reached a point anywhere near relevance. (Our measure for elections is, for instance, # of submissions / # of registered voters > .0001). The map was never actually started (there are no category descriptions or fewer than 10 reports).  DOA, anyone?  The map is listed in the Ushahidi deployment list but the link to the map is dead.  That definitely warrants a death certificate.
