-===== What is Vesuvius? ===== +
-{{ :agasti:vesuvius:vesuvius.png?150|}}Vesuvius continues a lineage from Krakatoa, and is being developed further primarily by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM). This effort is mainly concerned with improving family reunification and administrative capabilities, developing a robust code base, and exploring mobile technologies.  +

-===== For Developers Seeking Access or Considering Being a Contributor to Vesuvius =====+During 2013, NLM decided to present two different instances, with slightly different theming, targeting two separate use cases:
  
-Currently, most Vesuvius 0.9.x beta development goes on in-house at NLM. The code has been pushed to [[https://code.launchpad.net/vesuvius|Launchpad/Vesuvius]], where it is appropriately spread amongst the various Bazaar branches therein. See the [[https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1mBJpj-u4aJaZfibYIOqYL85GjsSmB_w-0B3YL3fE8DM|preliminary checklist for accessing the codebase and working with Bazaar]].+//For Community-based Disaster Event Handling.// The traditional People Locator site [[https://pl.nlm.nih.gov]] remains, but with hospital-based event features in the process of being removed or suppressed.  Other newly-differentiating features that this continues to offer are: 
 +  * PFIF missing-person data exchange with Google Person Finder. 
 +  * integration with NLM's mobile ReUnite apps. 
 +  * the SOLR search engine  
 +//For Disaster Event Handling by Hospitals or Other Organizations.// Starting in Nov, 2013, a new demonstration site called TriageTrak [[https://triagetrak.nlm.nih.gov]] is up in alpha form.  When the shakedown cruise is done (by approximately start of 2014?), it is likely that "hospital staff" accounts could be provided to qualified potential adopters.  Other differentiating features this site offers are: 
 +  * integration with NLM's mobile TriagePic apps. 
 +  * a simple MySQL search appropriate for small-scale data sets. 
 +  * improved hospital-based filtering of results. 
 +  * a model more focused on hospital adoption and self-hosting.
  
-Packaged releases with an installer are anticipated during 2012; some final work must first be completed on the last few remaining bugs in the installer. A [[agasti:vesuvius:install|preliminary page for Vesuvius installation information]] has been created.+Further differences are expected to appear over time.  (Note that this demo is seen as limited to offering "hospital staff" accounts; and is separate from the GSoC project to provide on-the-fly disposable instances with administrator rights.)
  
-Developments in this project are reported to the sahana-agasti listserv, and through periodic postings to the unofficial [[http://lostpersonfinder.wordpress.com/|Lost Person Finder blog]], among other places.  The freenode IRC channel #sahana-agasti facilitates cross-fertilization between Vesuvius and Mayon.

-===== Opportunities for Summer and Year-Long Internships at NLM in Bethesda, MD ===== +
-For US citizens and permanent residents, there are competitive paid internship opportunities for local high school, undergrad, graduate, and post-docs on-site at NLM.  Volunteer positions are also possible.  We are looking particularly for folks with programming experience.  Besides the Lost Person Finder project, our branches of NLM (Communications Engineering Branch and Computer Sciences Branch) have a number of other projects; those with coursework or experience in image processing, document understanding, and natural language understanding are particularly invited to consider us. +
