Issue 2:  week Monday 18 May to Sunday 24 May

Greetings

This week was a busy one on and around https://launchpad.net/dhis2
with the trunk revision number moving from 295 to 320 (see summary
list of commits below).

We also quite a busy week on the mailing list.  I'll just try and
highlight some of the main conversations here:

Ime Asangansi raised a query about exporting data from 1.4 to 2.0 -
https://lists.launchpad.net/dhis2-devs/msg01014.html.  There were a
couple of interesting responses including using IXF, excel and report
tables.

Johan has been raising a number of critical issues from Sierra Leone -
including this one
[https://lists.launchpad.net/dhis2-devs/msg01039.html] regarding
storing NULLs or zeroes in datamart.  Its an ongoing issue which is
not going away.  Need to make sure we don't lose these inputs.  After
a flurry of further bug reports and feature requests the inevitable
appeals to use launchpad surfaced.

Brajesh made an urgent appeal for URL's for organisation units
[https://lists.launchpad.net/dhis2-devs/msg01000.html] which resulted
in a swift fix from Lars.

And how to set up some default min-max ranges without the benefit of
historical data?
[https://lists.launchpad.net/dhis2-devs/msg01038.html].  Ola took the
initiative to register a blueprint dealing with the more general
statistical question of how to generate min-max values.  See new
blueprints below.

Abyot is back and we can expect a good deal of this week's discussion
to be directed towards the design of the new community based,
person-centric module.

Trying to automate monitoring blueprints on launchpad is still
painful.  There is a launchpad api, but somehow blueprints remain
outside of that :-(  I'm beginning to remember Saprashi's reluctance
at the Delhi workshop over the use of launchpad - a non-free software
platform where certain aspects of your data is not easily accessible -
being an early launchpad supporter I'll just give a little tremor and
assume we will solve these problems.  I am trying to subscribe to all
blueprints and hopefully be in a position next week to capture any
changes which occur on existing blueprints.

Meanwhile, these are new blueprints which were added this week:

1.  Generate spreadsheet forms for data entry and import -
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/spreadsheet-dataentry
2.  Improve the min/max value functionality -
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/improve-minmax-value-functionality
