As a communication tool, Collabbit aims to facilitate inter- and intracommittee communication in case of a disaster or other event that requires coordination between multiple organizations or individual users. The system is centered around instances (such as disasters) which have updates, intended to provide progress reports about the instance. Updates are submitted by users on behalf of committees; they have a description and may contain attached files. The system also provides a contact directory where users can be found based on their agencies and committees. The system is a ground up rewrite of the VirtualEOC project using Ruby on Rails. This project replaces virtualeoc. Developed as part of the Humanitarian FOSS Project (http://www.hfoss.org).
