Hi Kasun,

Thanks for your interest in DHIS2 and the SMS parsing project
The proposal is quite short and its not clear to me the steps you plan to
complete the project.
Detailing what pattern matching means, how templates are generated, what do
you mean by semi-automatic... will improve your proposal.
Good luck for the proposal
