==Miscellaneous Notes==<br />
<br />
===The Future of Ushahidi===<br />
<br />
Ushahidi is going through a fairly significant rewrite, so it will look different in awhile. However, they are really making a push to document their development process for the forthcoming version 3.0.<br />
<br />
The rewrite is to make it more manageable.<br />
<br />
You can find out more about it by Googling "Ushahidi 3.0".<br />

==Miscellaneous Notes==<br />
<br />
===The Future of Ushahidi===<br />
<br />
Ushahidi is going through a fairly significant rewrite, so it will look different in awhile. However, they are really making a push to document their development process for the forthcoming version 3.0.<br />
<br />
The rewrite is to make it more manageable.<br />
<br />
You can find out more about it by Googling "Ushahidi 3.0".<br />
<br />
See [https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/Ushahidi%2C+v3.X] for links to design process, blogs, etc.<br />
<br />
===Ushahidi and Java===<br />
<br />
'Some of us want to use Ushahidi in the context of courses in which Java is the main programming language. However, Ushahidi is written primarily in PHP and SQL. One option is to use the [https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/Ushahidi+Public+API Ushahidi Web API]. There is even [https://github.com/ushahidi/Ushahidi_Java a Java warpper for that API]. Another is to work with the Android App, which like most Android Apps, is written in Java. We've started [[Ushahidi_Android_Application | a short guide to building the Ushahidi Android App]].<br />

<br />
==Playing with the API==<br />
<br />
Here's a suffix to add to the URL ... api?task=incidents&resp=xml<br />
<br />
That gives you XML of the first 20 incidents or so. You can play with what the tasks are or how the response is formed (xml or JSON).<br />
<br />
More info [https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/Ushahidi+Public+API Ushahidi Public API]<br />
<br />
Dealing with these data can be done in any language. (XML may be more human readable, JSON is a bit more computer readable.)<br />
<br />
There's a nice opportunity to turn these things into objects.<br />
<br />
