The ResolutionFinder.org application is a database concept which was developed across four thematic issues chosen from the UN agenda. These four thematic issues are:

• clean drinking water
• women and education
• malaria
• small arms and light weapons

After testing the viability of our search options and filters, we will expand the content of ResolutionFinder.org to include further issues. Our long-term goal is to ultimately cover all thematic areas of the UN and contain information on several tens of thousands of different documents.

A prototype of the application was created in fall 2009, we have been working on a first public version of the application since January 2010, which was released as a first beta on May 20th in Geneva. Its based on symfony 1.4 using Doctrine 1.2 to access a MySQL database and using the sfSolrPlugin to communicate with Solr. The next major launch in December 2010 added search by documents and a much improved search UI.

The wiki is currently a bit outdated. We are definitely still looking for people to help in development!
