-A mobile phone guide to edible urban wild-food sources. Created in first instance for Amsterdam Urban Edibles as an app for the Iphone 3GS, T-Mobile G1, HTC Magic and other Android phones.
+**Combining the ancient skills of foragers with the newest mobile media.**\\
+A mobile phone guide to edible urban wild-food sources. Created in first instance for Amsterdam [[urban_edibles]] as an [[http://www.ushahidi.com/|Ushahidi]] based app for Android phones. **First test version available here:** [[http://vdmark.info/ushahidi/BoskoiAndroid.apk|Boskoi]] and [[boskoi|here]]
+We have chosen [[grazing_hermits|Boskoi]] as a name for the mobile app because it translates as 'grazer' or 'browser' from the Greek 'βοσκοί'.\\
+Functionalities (being implemented):
+  * Showing edible or useful wildfood sources in your area.
+  * Displaying direction and distance to plant.
+  * Providing info on edible parts of the plant.
+  * Enabling anyone (with gps on mobile) to upload new entries to the database.
+  * Providing links to expert knowledge (botanical, herbal, culinary, ecological)
+  * Verifying plant status.
+  * Open to mail, sms, twitter.
+  * Offering alerts to new additions in your area.
+Possible extras:
+  * Offering harvesting alerts.
+  * Join local foragers and events.
+  * Providing a route to a recipe.
+  * supporting standard format see: [[foragemarkuplanguage]]
+In future we aim at Boskoi versions for several platforms.\\
