With the possibility of a new NIMS project, FIMS (Future Information Management System), we have the opportunity to create something better by learning from the issues that have affected us in the past with NIMS.

Overview

Objective: To create an online facility inventory for Ethiopia

Goals:

  • Software Maintainability: "do one thing and do it well"
  • Offline & mobile data collection

Lazy loads videos as you scroll. Place the iframe src in a "data-embed" attribute. Use with jQuery.
$(document).ready(function(){
var vid_links = $('a.video');
function showVideos(){
if (!vid_links.length) return;
var window_bottom = $(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height() + 500;
vid_links.each(function(){
var link = $(this);
if (link.offset().top < window_bottom){
link.replaceWith(
'<iframe src="' + link.attr('data-embed') + '" class="video" frameborder="0"></iframe>');
