The Mapper: | The Mapper is a server-side web application developed by Eve University graduate, and now member of Sleeper Social Club (as of Sept 2015), Marbin Drakon in 2013. It is open-source, meaning that any organization can download and install it and use it to serve database information to organization members securely, over the web. The Eve University instance of this software is housed on an E-UNI server, and does not share information with any other organizations, even those that also use Eve W-Space. (So, for example, SSC can't see our maps, and we can't see theirs.) | ||
That means that the Mapper: | |||

* Communicate information to fleet- and campus-mates. | |||
