ODeeKers,
Alpha Testers, start your engines!
I'd love to get your input on the ODK compatible KoBo Form Designer, which
builds survey forms you can use in ODK or an ODK derivative like KoBo.

I am presenting this at the Berkeley Human Rights Center conference next
week Advancing the New
Machinehttp://www.law.berkeley.edu/HRCweb/events/TechConference2011/index.html,
at which I hope to see some of you. So, before I do, it would be very
helpful if some of the great people on this list took it out for a spin.
The Form Designer is based on PurC forms, but it's quite a bit changed. It
also includes the KoBo Post Processor as an inline java applet, for all your
synchronization and aggregation needs. A great feature is that you can
download it and work offline, which was a major design consideration because
we are always in some far away place working by candlelight to get the XML
coded for a survey. It works where internet doesn't.
Links above will take you to the online version of the Designer, and there
is a link to the Help Pages which has a detailed Getting Started
Tutorialhttps://sites.google.com/site/kobonaut/getting-started-tutorial
.
Please share your thoughts and complaints and any bugs you find will be
cheerfully received by me and the rest of the KoBonauts.
KoBo is a project to help make research easy and accurate using open source
software, mobile devices, and shared methodology. You can see more about the
research we work on, our results, and plans for the future at the Kobo Home
Page http://koboproject.org/.
