Hello everyone! As GSoC is ending, I decided to post a summary of all the work that I did over the summers. I really enjoyed working on this project, and due to my mentor @raff 's guidance, I learnt quite a bit about good practices in programming and how, when designed properly, an internet application like OpenMRS can be equally powerful even when offline. I look forward to contributing and improving the project even beyond GSoC.
#Targets:
- Add a patient registration form.
- Provide support for custom forms defined on a server.
- Implement an offline mode, which allows to view patient’s historic data and enter new forms.
- Release a new version of the client.
The work was neatly divided into issues on OpenMRS JIRA and subsequent pull requests on Github, and they are listed here, along with Weekly blog posts:
