 The Missing Person Registry is an organized online bulletin board of missing and found people. It captures information about the people lost and found, as well as information about persons seeking them, increasing the chances of people finding each other. For example, if two members of a family are looking for the head of the family, Sahana can connect those two family members during their search, ideally leading to family reunification.  While Sahana offers no automatic notification when someone is found, it would allow a volunteer monitoring Sahana to perform manual notification (e.g., through phone contact). The Missing Person Registry is an organized online bulletin board of missing and found people.

-Coming soon:  In conjunction with the November [[http://foss.in|FOSS.IN 2008]] conference in Bangalore, code will be developed to allow the public to query the Missing Person Registry via a GSM mobile/cell phone (or laptop with GSM modem).  Initial functionality would allow search for the missing by either first or last name.  (Companion code, related to situational awareness, will allow phone notification of disaster event alerts and updates.)  For technical details, see [[dev:foss_in_2008_ideas]].+== Coming Soon == 
 +In conjunction with the November [[http://foss.in|FOSS.IN 2008]] conference in Bangalore, a start was made on code to allow the public to query the Missing Person Registry via a GSM mobile/cell phone (or laptop with GSM modem).  Initial desirable functionality would allow search for the missing by either first or last name.  (Companion code, related to situational awareness, will allow phone notification of disaster event alerts and updates.)  For technical details, see [[dev:foss_in_2008_ideas]].

 +In April, 2009, Sahana projects for the Google Summer of Code 2009 were selected.  Projects (with mentor and student listed) that would likely most impact MPR are: 
 +  * Person Registry(PR) for Sahana (Dominic Koenig, Kethees Selladurai) - Will provide a more-uniform internal representation of people across modules, and allow cross-module search. 
 +  * Body Management and Identification module in Fatality Management for Disaster Victim Identification (Dominic Koenig, Khushbu Mohta) - This and MPR have some commonalities. 
 +  * J2ME client with multiple-transport back-end support (GPRS and particularly SMS) - For form data collection in the field using mobile devices (Kapil Dua, Praneeth Bodduluri). 
 +  * SahanaOCR module (Joseph Fonseka, Gihan Chamra) - Support data collection using printed forms as an alternative to on-line entry. 
 +  * Sahana Dynamic Theme Manager (Hayesha Somarathne, Akshit Sharma) - Improve Sahana appearance and customizability. 
 + 
 +Other projects were: 
 +  * P2P Synchronization of Sahana Servers (Fran Boon, Hasanat Kazmi) 
 +  * SahanaPHP CAP Reader and Firefox Plugin (Gavin Treadgold, Shree Kant Bohra) 
 +  * CAP Publishing and Enhancing the CAP generation (Nuwan Waidyanatha, Nithin Dara) 
 +  * Aggregator Mashup Portal (Chamara Caldera, Iroshan Horathalge) 
 +  * Warehouse Management under Logistics Module (Mark Prutsalis, Ajay Kumar)
