Develop Data-Entry Architecture For Handhelds:

In follow-up to the discussions at our recent meeting with Matt, we need to get cracking
with generating data-entry forms for handhelds. Initially we will target the hand-held
screen size but runnign on a desktop machine (possibly running on a tablet PC later) - so
the main thrust of this work is initially to get XUL generated as a result of inspecting the
schema and interviewing the end-user. Questions to resolve and issues to address
include:

a) Redo one of Carol's field apps using XUL, so we know what we're aiming for

b) Thru' discussions with Carol, determine how we could generate this UI, based on a
user questionnaire and schema details

c) generate it!

More specific to handhelds:

i) How do we get data in & out? talked about using patial EML documents at the
meeting.

ii) discuss storage structure for handhelds - shoudl be feasible to abstract this away and
use a common API for all devices??
