Re: [SMW-devel] Offline Semantic Forms

[Neill M. <ne...@nl...>]

Hi Benedikt.

What would the Physicians use to key in the data into the form? A laptop 
or PC/Mac based laptop?

If this is the case there is nothing stopping them running a local copy 
of MW/SMW and then simply uploading the data to the central instance (a 
server somewhere I assume) using the normal MW export/import.

Cheers
Neill.
