Raymond Broersma posted a blog postFrontline user survey
I filled in the Frontline user survey today and it amounted to two things:We were successful in installing Ushahidi on our own web host, though the web host blocks port 993, making automatic downloads of email impossible; AndWe still haven't been able to get around the limited list of mobile devices that FontlineSMS works with.

Getting started
I'm giving us a year to start using frontline in combination with crowdmap to monitor what we're calling "guide species" in the Netherlands to promote conservation and nature management.
