Fundación Paraguaya (FP from now on) has developed a methodology called “Poverty Stoplight”. The Poverty Stoplight seeks to eliminate the multidimensional poverty that affects many families. It allows families to trace their own poverty map and develop and implement a clear plan to overcome it.
Through a visual survey that shows photographs, families self-assess their level of poverty with 50 indicators. These indicators are in turn grouped into 6 different dimensions of poverty.
The PSP (Poverty Stoplight Platform) is a set of components that assist people in the process of acquiring data, analyzing and helping the families with solution to overcome his poverty.
The PSP-server is a Spring Boot application that expose a REST API to diferent components (i.e. an Andorid Application)
The project is just starting and we expect to have a running version by the end of the year.
The platform is currently being developed by a group of developers from FP and SODEP. We welcome help from other developers, but we understand that the project is still in its early days.
Since we have a comprise to remain an open source project, we decided to push it to github and let everybody know our progress.

We've decided to use our internal issue tracking for fastest communication in the development team. We are going to use pull requests from day one and we are planning to move to github tickets once we reach a stable version.
