We quickly settled on a strategy to add better line-capturing capabilities to the free software OpenDataKit. For years, ODK has been a towering colossus amongst Digital Humanitarian projects, largely due to the brilliance and commitment of the community of volunteer developers that maintains the app. We knew that if we added functionality to ODK, not only would Ramani Huria benefit, but the entire humanitarian sector would have access to our improvements.
ODK kwa miaka mingi imekuwa rasilimali kubwa kwenye miradi ya kidigitali ya kibinadamu, hasa kwa sababu ya uwazi na kujitolea kwa jumuia ya watengenezajiwa programu hii. Tulijua kwamba, ikiwa tutaongeza kazi kwenye ODK, si tu Ramani Huria ingeweza kufaidika, lakini sekta nzima ya kibinadamu ingeweza kufaidika maboresho yetu.
