Hi Jason,

There is a difference, how you are thinking about a community based
information system developed by using great methodology for doing certain
good work, however it varies from person to person, perhaps we can simply
categories like given below,

1. DHIS2 -- As a data enty end user / data analyst user
2. DHIS2 -- As a core developer
3. DHIS2 -- As a system administrator
4. DHIS2 -- As s solution architect
5. DHIS2 -- As a business analyst
6. DHIS2 -- As a 66 Hacker
7. DHIS2 -- As a consultant / trainer / coordinator
8. DHIS2 -- As a program manager

Can you make us little more clear where would you like to put yourself for
finding solution of proposed pretty use case generated in trail email based
on your best findings / suggested option ?

I think you will get even better option / solution when you will put your self
at best place to
look into the scenario. At lest, i think a solution architect can't suggest
to do a work around "hack" which is no way gone a be appreciated in DHIS2
Community.

Regards,
Brajesh
