Logistics cluster
http://www.logcluster.orgThis summer the logistics cluster, headed by UNJLC produced this web site to help coordinate field logisiticians from all organisations working on a particular operation.
It's open source, it's web 2.0 (just), it was graphic designed by a professional, it is standards compliant and accessible, it has feeds from ReliefWeb it even has a list of Accronyms [sic]. Typical page size is 40k, with 120k of cachable linked files. Not too bad, although a low bandwidth version might still be helpful.
