 === Augmented Foraging ===
+**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 a [[http://layar.com/|LAYAR]] app for the Iphone 3GS, T-Mobile G1, HTC Magic and other Android phones.
 We are considering [[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)
+  * Report 'bad link'; if plant/source is no longer there.
+Possible extras:
+  * Offering harvesting alerts.
+  * Report waste dumping (separate waste-map?)
+  * Mushroom determination.
+  * Join local foragers.
+  * Apply to become an editor.
+  * Add protected or endangered species without revealing exact location.
