CTL: The Technology Behind The Organization

Crossing the Line has been around now for nearly a year, we have 4 volunteers, and a plethora of techno-whatsits.

Instant Messenger - CTL uses a custom built AIM messenger that automatically logs all information to a central server for easier fetching.

Full Text Indexing - For our volunteers to more easily search through and pickup where another volunteer left off on a predator.

Meeting Setup - Right on the IM application is a confirm meeting button that allows you to flag the time and place the meeting is supposed to go down. This is then emailed to contacts that we have in local law enforcement agencies.

Future Development:
I plan on completing the service by creating a full suite of usable tools that use services to talk to the database. This will aid in less clerical errors. I would also like to get this all running on a terminal for ease of productivity. But all of this is for the future.

Again if you are interested you can contact me with your information.
