Join me:http://192.122.183.218/wiki/index.php/PeopleFinderVolunteer Websites galore are going up with missing persons information, and technophiles across the country quickly realized a need to categorize this information in one database with easily searchable formats. Social Source Foundation, CivicSpace Labs and Salesforce.com Foundation are working with a wide community to solve a simple problem, and they need our help.If you've donated money but want to do more, or don't have any money to donate, you can volunteer and hour or two of your time from home or work to help copy and paste information from a variety of sources into one comprehensive database. No other technical skills are required! There's more information and instructions to sign up on the wiki site. I grabbed a block of names last night to work on, and not only is it easy, but returned to me a more human feeling to the tragedy that is overwhelming so many of us.
