I am aware of the mobile user manual of course, and much of our own
user manual in Zambia has been derived from it. However, the person
who developed the manual chose not to use DocBook, against my advice.
So, yes, we will need to merge this back at some point in time. Much
of it is very specific to Zambia, but this part may be of use.

Not sure. I have not experienced this, but I have heard rumours from
the field that the data has been transmitted (Marked as completed) but
it never shows up in the system. I have not been able to reproduce it.

Also, I would use the data browser in organisation unit mode to
confirm the data is there, unless you just want to demonstrate that
data can be entered either through the mobile or browser. I have not
experienced this issue.

Use an emulator on localhost if you want this to happen.

We are still evaluating the pilot here, but in general all of the
problems come back to the phone configuration settings. Once the
phones have been setup, the data comes in immediately as the users
report it.

Regards,
Jason
