Hi Shruti,

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the DHIS2 project.
Each of the project that you listed, require understanding the data model
and domain model of DHIS2.
The following slides might give an overarching idea -
http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/ifi/INF5750/h12/undervisningsmateriale/dhis-2.pdf

Being able to connect ODK to DHIS2 has many advantages. It is a widely used
client application and many projects in the countries where we have DHIS2
implementations use ODK. The core of ODK is the JavaRosa Xforms standard. -
http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/
Understanding this, will be required, so that the submitted Xforms from
JavaRosa can be imported into DHIS2.

The native DHIS2 exchange format is called DXF 2.0. An XSLT transform to
convert an Xforms to DXF and vice-versa, might be one approach to do this
integration between ODK and DHIS2. You could suggest another approach.
Please look through these and feel free to come back with questions on
this.

Also would be good if you hung out at the IRC.
There are other students and you might be going through the same problems
of starting DHIS2 development as others.
They will help you or you could walk through those issues along with them.
Our IRC is at irc.freenode.net #dhis channel
