Thanks all - a MILLION apologies for gettting back to all of you this late!
I actually got some people to do this because i was preparing for a training and there were a THOUSAND other things competing for my attention. Brajesh, great ideas start from all sorts of ways! The ideas presented by my fellow colleagues currently seem like/are HACKS but ftom a "DHIS2 - Core Developer's view" they are ways to start an implementation for the "Official Recommended Options"! We get to relieve people like Lars & others from doing smaller competing tasks to doing worrying about the BIGGER picture. Otherwise thanks all for the shared options - i'm actually going to look at these hacky ideas and probably share something official... :-) ----- * Blessings & regards* *Martin Namutso | IT Specialist | Mob: +256 782 006 662* *----- If you think education is expensive try ignorance! ----- ** "To oppose CORRUPTION in government is the highest obligation of patriotism." -- G.
