| | 3 | We want clients on Mobile devices to be able to talk to Sahana Eden servers. |
| | 4 | They should have local storage for use completely offline & then be able to sync back to the server using whatever connectivity becomes available: |
| | 5 | * SMS |
| | 6 | * compressed multi-part SMS to get maximal throughput |
| | 7 | * wiki:BluePrintMessagingModule#Micro-Syntax |
| | 8 | * forms should be updatable via SMS |
| | 9 | * GPRS/3G |
| | 10 | * !WiFi |
| | 11 | * !BlueTooth |
| | 12 | * J2ME docs: |
| | 13 | * ''tbc'' |

| | 19 | Using the open XForms standard means that we can support handsets using both Android & J2ME. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | XForms editors(written in GWT, so includable in Eden as a simple HTML page): |
| | 22 | * [http://code.google.com/p/purcforms/ PurcForms] - can import the output from our controller, powerful but not for non-techies! |
| | 23 | * [http://design.openxdata.org Demo] |
| | 24 | * [http://ox-designer.blogspot.com OX-Designer] - more basic, but pretty. No import yet. Built for OpenMRS (which uses ODK) |

| | 34 | * This needs updating to the latest version of !JavaRosa |
