Colour us happy! The latest and shiny version of FrontlineSMS v. 2.2.1 is now compatible with Ushahidi. FrontlineSMS launched their latest version in January. Congratulations to their amazing team! Ushahidi's roots are in connecting maps to SMS. So, celebrating means also digging into documentation to make it easier for you to use FrontlineSMS and Ushahidi together.
