I agree very much that import and export functionality is crucial. With new
attractive features like Jan Henrik's great GIS work, more and more people
will be wanting to get their data, however collected, into DHIS 2. However,
I am not sure we are yet in a position to brag about our capabilities on
this front - there is still a lot of improvements needed. The ongoing SDMX
work will help somewhat, but again, the more we can do to smooth and ease
such processes the better.
