+ <dl>
+ <dt>What is FixMyBarangay?</dt>
+ <dd>FixMyBarangay is a site to help people report, view,
+or discuss local problems they&rsquo;ve found to the city departments.
+The pilot project lets you report the problems by SMS (or dropping
+into the barangay center).
+</dd>
+ <dt>What areas are covered?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ The pilot project is just running in two barangays in Cebu &ndash;
+ Luz and Basak San Nicolas.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>What sort of problems should I report with FixMyBarangay?</dt>
+ <dd>The FixMyBarangay pilot project is just for potholes (and similar
+ road surface problems) and broken streetlights.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>What isn&rsquo;t FixMyBarangay for?</dt>
+ <dd>FixMyStreet is not a way of getting in touch with Cebu City Hall for other problems
+ &ndash; please use FixMyBarangay only for potholes and streetlights while the pilot
+ project is running..
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>Staff only: How do I use the site?</dt>
+ <dd>If you have a staff login, you can view problems already reported in that area,
+or report ones of your own simply by clicking on the map at the location of
+the problem.</dd>
+ <dt>How are the problems solved?</dt>
+ <dd>Problems sent by SMS are initially handled by the barangay staff &ndash; they'll
+ confirm the problem and report it to the relevant department automatically.
+ Once it's in the department's problem-tracking system, they'll get onto it as
+ soon as they can.</dd>
+ <dt>Is it free?</dt>
+ <dd>The site is free to use, yes. The pilot project has been funded by the World Bank.</dd>
+
+ </dl>
+
+ <h2><a name="practical"></a>Staff questions</h2>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>What's my login?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ You can use your email address and set a password right away, but your
+ account won't be enabled as a <em>staff account</em> until one of the
+ system administrators has checked it. TODO: contact details.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>I've forgotten my password, what do I do?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ No problem — when you log in, if you can't remember your password we'll
+ send you a confirmation link which lasts for one session, and you can
+ reset your password once you've clicked on that.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>How do I sign out?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ Either click on <a href="/auth/sign_out">sign out</a> on the page you're on,
+ or quit the browser (just closing the window without quitting the browser is not enough).
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Reporting</dt>
+ <dd>TODO</dd>
+ <dt>How do I see the SMS messages people have sent?</dt>
+ <dd>When you look at the barangay problems, click on "Problems via text"
+ (or, if you're viewing a specific report, click "Show messages") to see the
+ currently available messages. You'll need a username and password
+ for the Message Manager (your manager will have told you what these
+ are). Note that you can only see messages that have not yet been used to
+ create a report (and also their replies).
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Is my Message Manager username and password the same as the ones I use for FixMyBarangay?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ No, it's a separate account (some FMB users don't have any access to the SMS messages).
+ Your manager will tell you what your login for Message Manager system is, if you have one.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>I tried to work with a message but it said "lock not granted". What's up?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ This means another staff member is working on the message. To prevent you both creating
+ a report, or sending a reply, we use a first-come-first-serve locking mechanism.
+ Collisions like this are rare, but if they do happen, try again a few minutes later
+ because the lock may have expired by then.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Can I delete a message?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ Yes. Click on the red cross when you hover over it (although really you're only hiding it).
+ You need an <em>administrator</em> account in the Message Manager to be able to see the
+ messages that have been hidden, so hiding them is as good as deleting them.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>It looks like an incoming message is wrongly shown as a reply. Can I fix it?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ FixMyBarangay tries to recognise SMS replies, and automatically matches them to the right thread. If it
+ gets this wrong, the reply may appear as a new "available" message, or a new message might be
+ mistaken for a reply. You need to ask an administrator to log into Message Manager to sort this out for you.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>How do the replies get back to the original sender?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ Although you're replying from within FixMyBarangay, the replies are sent by SMS.
+ There may be a delay of a few minutes between the moment you press <strong>reply</strong>
+ and the message's arrival.
+ </dd>
