		In the upcoming days, we see three big areas we need to work on, if we
		want this to be a useful service:
	</p>
	
	<ul>
		<li>
			The first one is getting a Haitian phone number that forwards to our
			toll-free lines. We can't ask haitians to make international calls.  It's simply out of
			the question. We need to partner with a local telecom or VOIP company to find a way to get local 
			Haitian calls to us at no extra cost to the caller.
		</li>
		<li>
			The second one is to start pulling together a community.  We 
			need to identify other projects who can use our site (we need data 
			coming in to our database to keep translators busy) and we need a
			community of bilingual Creole speakers who can transcribe our text.  We think
			there's a lot of haitians in the US who would help-the biggest risk in my mind
			is pulling in too many translators too quickly.  We want there to
			always be work on the site when a translator logs on.
		</li>
		<li>
			Finally, we need to improve the user interface.  It needs to be 
			painless for our volunteer translators to work for us.  We're
			inexperienced in UI design, and we think we'd really benefit from
			having a UI guy come in and redo the interface.  If anyone
	  		knows someone who could do this work, that would be really
	  		helpful.
	  	</li>
	</ul>
	
	<p>
		If you, or someone you know can help us in one of these ways, or if
		you have other ideas you'd like to contribute, you can get in touch with us
		by <a href="mailto:haitivoiceneeds-prj@keithsteward.com">email</a> or
		you can call Alex at 919.609.8744, or Keith at 508-318-8035.

	<p>Thanks!</p>
