Unfortunately I’m in a similar boat, and I’ll be in the middle of work for the call today. I do plan on taking a look at the recording though

[Akshay_Patel]

I would like to understand regarding any technical contributions needed for any of the tool with an aim to propose it as a project under GSOC 2018.
Is there any possibility for discussion regrading the same?

[W_Brunette]

The next call will be on 4th Tuesday of Month, 04:00-05:00 UTC, so hopefully that will work for your schedule if not let us know.

[W_Brunette]

As part of the agenda there is time set aside “Identify and prioritize features or areas that need improvement” when we will hopefully be discussing needed contributions.

As a reminder ODK 2 tool suite (Survey, Tables, Services, Scan, Sensors, Suitcase) is different than ODK 1 tool suite (Collect, Briefcase, XLSForm).

Community contributions to upcoming ODK 2.0 documentation refresh

Hi All, I am currently working on migrating the ODK 2.0 documentation into Sphynx and bringing it in line with the rest of the ODK documentation. This includes bringing over all the existing ODK 2.0 documentation (both on the website and the wiki) as well as adding some more content to ease the learning curve for new users. Some example improvements include intro pages for the tools and for the suite as a whole, new tutorials, and documentation for the example apps. On the most recent ODK 2.0 …

ODK 2.0 Documentation migration to docs.opendatakit.org -- Request for Review

I have just opened a pull request to merge the ODK 2.0 documentation from here into docs.opendatakit.org. Here is a link to the pull request. The content of the docs is largely the same as on the website, but I have attempted to apply the ODK style guidelines to them, and break them up somewhat into a similar file structure as the rest of the docs. There are also some error fixes and other tweaks. This is a huge PR, and I’m hoping to get some eyes on it from both the existing docs contributors…
