Coordinated online response to Hurricane Gustav

Looking for something similar to the Katrina PeopleFinder project that I worked on in 2005, I found that Andy Carvin and others created a Gustav Wiki using Mediawiki, as well as a Gustav Information Center using the social network platform, Ning. I signed up to help garden the wiki and, if needed, help coordinate addition of shelter information with something like the Katrina ShelterFinder team. (ShelterFinder proved arguably more useful than PeopleFinder in the wake of Katrina). If you're wiki-adept and good at finding and organizing information, volunteer here. Assuming it isn't duplication of effort (I saw only one other person working on it), I'd like to organize a team to compile and maintain shelter info. Let me know if you're interested.
