Yes we do. Obviously the developers are stretched, they should give a
technical description of how things works but someone needs to sit down and
write this down nicely. Johan has been talking about writing documentation
for a long time. Is there any progress here? Is there anyone else who feels
like contributing?

Also, we have implemented an integrated help system in dhis2, where we put
an icon beside the relevant function which displays a popup when clicked. A
non-developer could write the doc/help text and a note of where it should
be.
