Yes but the point is that it is no good if he just creates a personal
local branch which is what is mostly described in the documentation.
His branch must also be on launchpad.  Which is why I suggested
perhaps putting it in (or next to) the sandbox which is owned by
dhis2-devs.

I guess alternatively you just make your own branch by going to
https://code.launchpad.net/~miri and creating the branch there.  Then
the core devs decide how, when and what to merge with trunk.

Cheers
Bob
