Google Summer of Code:

• Will hear back about our mentor org application this Friday
• Import Questions
  • No current plan to import transactions via a spreadsheet - already such functionality with M-Pesa or AudiBank plugins

• Functionality to upload client data is in Margaret H release 

• Plans to add new clients/accounts.
  

Offline Data Collection

• 3 Main Modules
  • Data Upload: Use infrastructure for data import and tie it together in one nice interface - a common workbook with multiple sheets - one for clients, loans, savings, etc.
  • Data Download: Have existing infrastructure - Pentaho BI - can download infromation into nicely formatted Excel workbook which can be used by client in the field.
  • Data Entry: No agreement on this right now - some want Chrome client, webpage-based, spreadsheet-based. 
    • For each implementation, project can make decision on data entry - develop small piece of code that connects with the general data upload and download facilities. 
    • If the data upload and download modules are flexible, each ODC project can make decision about how they would like to organize data entry.
    • Jakub: Question is do we have such REST APIs in place. 

• 2 modules of the 3 are more or less done
  

Mifos ACC

• Proof of Concept: Hugo did it as integrated part of Mifos, not as a plug-in.
• Week or Two - participationg in this meeting would be very useful - review this proof of concept.

• Ed pulling together documentation tasks
• Jakub: Lukasz already has member of QA team working on that
• Actoin: Ed to send an email to Lukasz about work his QA team is doing to coordinate efforts.
