What would a case study template look like? Would more community members contribute case studies if there was a document to help them organize their thoughts?

I think it's a great idea. Since the goal is the social good, smaller organizations would benefit from the experience of larger and such diverse projects. I've only used odk in a small project but I'm convinced of the great potential of the community and will document my next endeavours

Hi Yaw!  
The only one I know apart from the ones listed on the site is this:

> **[10743.pdf](https://dspace.uazuay.edu.ec/bitstream/datos/4180/1/10743.pdf)**
>

In fact I'm making a dissertation based on it, with urban spiders. I'm  
making a a field guide and hopefully a GIS, I will share it when/if it  
works.  
I saw there were lots of ecologists working with ODK it would be nice to  
have a guide to kickstart this kind of projects.
