Re: [Dhis2-users] [Dhis2-devs] Plan for 2.0.6 release

 In a parallel process we have a set of student projects working on the
 following blueprints:
 Project Groups

 Some of these are experimental while some might feed directly into DHIS 2 on
 a short term. This work can be followed on the DHIS 2 Academy Launchpad
 site:
 launchpad.net/dhis2-academy

I think the DHIS 2 Academy is really an excellent undertaking - both
when it comes to training of developers, but equally important
training of implementers (and training of trainers).

Partners in Health in Rwanda are doing similar things in training
recent graduates in OpenMRS development.

I just saw that the symfony project (used for the Debo effort) has
added an excellent step-by-step guide to all aspects of professional
web development with PHP, good inspiration for this kind of work:

Re: [Dhis2-users] [Dhis2-devs] Plan for 2.0.6 release

2010/11/16 Lars Helge Øverland larshe...@gmail.com:

 Hi all,
 the plan for the 2.0.6 release can be found here:
 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+milestone/2.0.6

That looks like an excellent plan to me.

Just one comment regarding functionality that has been discussed for a
long time, and which is essential for use of DHIS 2 as a data
dissemination platform.

I see that the following blueprint has been targeted for 2.0.7:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/ghost-login

It seems to be a special case of this more general blueprint, which
does not yet have a target release:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/anonymous-dhis2-login

I don't know the security solution well enough to have much opinion
about what these involve on the technical side, but the ability to
publish reading rights for certain modules (i.e. not require login)
will be a very powerful addition to the platform as a whole.

Knut

 The release date has been set to January 20. This time we will time-box
 and focus on releasing on time, meaning if some blueprints are not finished
 they will be pushed back to next release.
 The Indian team is now working on the trunk code base which entails exciting
 opportunities for drawing on each others work. If things go according to
 plan 2.0.6 will be the first synchronized release for the global HISP
 community.
 Some highlights:
 - Excel Pivot table generator and client side application for incrementally
 updating the data source
 - Revamped community module
 - Introduction of new mobile module
 - Indicator target values to be displayed in reports and charts
 - Pagination of lists
 - Asynchronous loading of data entry screens
 - Data element totals and subtotals in indicator formulas
 The overall theme is to make the application more usable on high-latency
 networks, based on the experience from India and Kenya.
 Work on data exchange, such as dedicated data element identifier properties
 and separation of meta-data and data export messages is pushed back to 2.0.7
 release where this will be the main focus.
