| 4 | We would like to be able to have new Sahana installations be able to easily install relevant data, such as Locations (Hierarchy & Polygons, where available). |

| 6 | Currently suitable data is maintained at [wiki:GIS/Data] but this requires CLI commands to make use of. |

| 8 | [https://data.humdata.org HDX] has a lot of data however it isn't in a format suitable for import (indeed it isn't in any standard format which would be possible to create an import routine for) and also has no concept of canonical datasets, so there may be several to select between. |

| 10 | The plan is to develop functionality to allow Sahana installations using [BluePrint/WebSetup WebSetup] to be able to select the countries for which they wish to install data and have this come in via API. |
| 11 | * Sync could be used for this, but this means that we need to create a new repo on the central server for each remote client (which does have the benefit of giving us a log of where installs are requesting data for) |
