Community mapping is a proven procedure for identifying public health issues and threats - see the Wikipedia article on John Snow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Snow_(physician)). This application provides an interface for mapping villages and communities, so that data can be collected and analyzed about them.

   *     Application - Python
   *     Front end - JavaScript, X/HTML, CSS


Tasks
