Inspiration
After speaking to a few volunteers about what would help them to serve the homeless community, the consensus was that a smartphone and web-based application that was easily configured would help them.
What it does
It is a program that functions like a flowchart / expert engine for guiding non-experts through complex decisions.
How we built it
Client / Server model with centralized LAMP system communicating with individual volunteer's smartphone via the Internet. It is a powerful, EASILY customized application with unlimited uses!
Challenges we ran into
The fatigue of an event like this, coupled with my physical limitations. It was tough, but we kept our "eyes on the prize" and believe that we've delivered a very useful product.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Finishing what we came to do - creating a minimal useful version of our flowchart / expert engine.
What we learned
Functions that some of the volunteers thought would be useful in such a coordination app.
What's next for zWiz
Rest, sleep, and waiting for the judge's decisions. We had a great (and difficult) time, guys & gals! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
Sincerely, Bill & Puda, Team zWiz
