👋 here! I am editing the [submission of the R package `ruODK`](https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/335) by @Florian_May for rOpenSci and need access to the sandbox (if I understand [https://github.com/dbca-wa/ruODK#odk-central-instance](https://github.com/dbca-wa/ruODK#odk-central-instance) correctly) as it is probably the easiest way for me to run the tests and give the package a try. Thanks!

Hi @maelle, thanks for reviewing ruODK!

I just managed to create an account for the ODK Central sandbox using the email from your website (.se), made you admin and added you as manager to my project (id 14, DBCA WA).  
@yanokwa hope that's ok?

For the tests, you'll need the env vars as per unit tests. I'll follow up tomorrow with settings.

Thanks! So now I only need `ODKC_URL`, right?

Is this a sandbox project btw? It'd be better than an actual project 🙂

Hi @Florian_May

I don't see any direct message sending option here.

Can you help me on how to do it? I clicked your ID and then expected a 'message' option but there is none.

DM'd you, can you see the message?  
Maybe sending DMs is a privilege that needs to be unlocked through forum participation.

Hi @yanokwa ,

Can you please add me to the ODK Sandbox environment? I’m trying to test some integration with Power BI and reporting.

Thank you!
