[Martin Namutso <mnamutso@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all - a MILLION apologies for gettting  back to all of you this late!

I actually got some people to do this because i was preparing for a
training and there were a THOUSAND other things competing for my attention.

Brajesh, great ideas start from all sorts of ways! The ideas presented by
my fellow colleagues currently seem like/are HACKS but ftom a "DHIS2 - Core
Developer's view" they are ways to start an implementation for the
"Official Recommended Options"!

We get to relieve people like Lars & others from doing smaller competing
tasks to doing  worrying about the BIGGER picture.

Otherwise thanks all for the shared options - i'm actually going to look at
these hacky ideas and probably share something official... :-)
