Printable Version of Survey

Hi. I'm wondering if there has been any work or thought put into
creating printable versions of ODK surveys. This would allow surveys
simultaneous paper-based and electronic data collection, while not
needing to create/edit two sources.

My initial thoughts are that it would make sense to generate a
printable HTML version that could eventually become a browser-based
way of submitting data.

Any pointers or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

hey matt,

i don't thing anyone is working on anything like that, but it's
certainly an interesting idea. if you take the raw xform, you pretty
easily transform it to an html form and then apply some css for web or
print version.

maybe start with the widget form
(http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/Widgets.xml?repo=forms)
and see if you can map each of the widgets into an html form element.
then write a script to do the transform. once you have that, it'll be
pretty easy to turn it into a web service that others can use.
