 === CSV Import ===
+Here is a process that works, although is a bit cumbersome, so we should look to automate as much as possible & improve:
+ 1. Get a spreadsheet of good Data together (e.g. using Google Docs)
+ 2. Save as CSV
+ 3. Open in Open Office (MS Excel destroys data - do NOT use!)
+ 4. Export copies of the tables you wish to import to in CSV format, e.g.:
+  * /gis/location.csv
+  * /hms/hospital.csv
+ 5. Plan how you are going to deal with duplicates between these datasets.
+  * e.g. copy exported data into Spreadsheet & then clear table: {{{db.module_resource.truncate()}}}
+ 6. Plan the order of imports:
+  * Need to import referenced tables before those which refer to them, e.g.:
+   * pr_person, gis_location, or_organisation, or_office, or_contact
+ 7. Copy the data from the datasheet into the one with the column headers
+  * NB All column headers need to be present, named correctly, in the correct order
+  * No blank rows in the sheet
+ 8. Upload the file to the server: /home/haiti/web2py
+ 9. Do a Test Import on Dev
+  * Check that data looks good
+ 10. Repeat on Prod:

-  * Limited access through Web at: /admin/import_data (& doesn't seem to work at all?)
-  * Problems with the file format (e.g. MS Excel chews, OpenOffice 3.1 ok)
-  * Hard work to get reference fields lined up
-   * Need to export a dataset first
+
+ToDo:
+ * Provide a Controller to allow web-based access at: /admin/import_data (The current implementation broke at some point) 
+ * Use functions imported from a new {{{modules/s3gis.py}}} for the WKT-creation
