Campware- Developing a platform for open source solutions for independent news media organizations in emerging democracies:
Information is power. One way to support the pursuit of truth in media is the creation of a cellphone platform which will allow and encourage locals around the world to “report” their stories. By giving these voices a vehicle by which they can tell their stories from their native point of view, citizens from all countries can be better informed.

"Campsite Overview
Campsite is a multilingual content management system (CMS) for news websites.
Campsite's easily localizable user interface was built with the end user (journalist/editor/publisher) in mind and it can be configured to suit different profiles of end users – to each according his or her own technological prowess.
Campsite follows the print-newspaper publishing paradigm, so it structures sites by default as Publications > Issues > Sections > Articles. Campsite works best for medium-to-large-size online news publications, but it is capable of handling nimbler sites too. Some of its main features are highly customizable user interface, total design freedom for web designers, automatic creation of archives, copy flow, and built-in subscription support."
