Hi Saptarshi, Jim,

Good Morning. I have submitted my detailed proposal on
www.google-melange.com for project 'Allow data entry from OpenDataKit'. My
mentor will be Jim and Saptarshi. Please May I request you to give me
feedback on improving my proposal. I tried to cover all the technical
details but please let me know if I missed something.

Thank you and looking forward to work with you.

Have a good weekend.

Regards,
Anum
