Not to be obtuse here, but this sounds like something that the DHIS2
Web mobile client can do today. Granted, creating 10000 user names and
passwords is a creative SQL query, but it could be done.

If you just need to collect an aggregate data element for a particular
organizational unit, this is something that can be done today with the
DHIS GPRS/3G client and Web-API. Scaling could be an issue, but this
seems really to be a load-balancing issue.

Perhaps I am missing something?

Regards,
Jason
