Common Hope

While in Guatemala late last year, I worked with Common Hope. The goal of Common Hope is to empower down on their luck Guatemalans to improve their situation, something I see parallels with even in web design (if you want to get into a philosophical discussion about the true goals of Content Management, let me know). We built a home for a family without one, and when I returned to Minneapolis, I contacted the organization and asked how can I continue to help. They of course had a project that needed some development.
Please check out the Common Hope Volunteer Network, which I’ve given some extra functionality to as well as hours of best practice consulting. Excited to be working with them on an upcoming forum where volunteers can continue to communicate after their work has been provided!

This is just the first step and I’m experimenting both with camera technique and a javascript that would allow for the same result while keep file sizes down and quality up on the web (jpg rather than gif), without using Flash.
