FYI - Mesh4x used in JavaRosa

[edjez]

Hi all, we are about to finish a code contribution to javaRosa that
allows this XForm-based data entry tool for mobile devices to sync 2-
ways with an http server or via SMS with a [phone/ laptop / server].
the payload information is formatted using xform-model format.

The code contribution also allows the phone to get the xform form
definitions themselves as well, to allow the user to self-provision
form definitions they need. the forms are also kept in a feedsync-
enabled http server.

We have most of the work done, the remaining tasks involve testing in
actual phones to hammer out bugs with memory/battery/network/etc and
adding a nicer ui.

From there, there could be many next steps - including
1.making the tools to provision the data to specific devices smarter
to allow 'filters' of information (..you don't want your 100 gb
database on every phone, do you?) or
2. start building smarter web uis to manage the feeds
3. build adapters to gdata/bigtable/s3 to allow a scalable http
storage (gdata is appealing as it would allow you to automatically get
a spreadsheet you can analyze/graph automatically)

thoughts?
