Hi everyone, I am a master student and currently writing my thesis about ways to ensure data quality in data gathering processes using mobile phones. I am looking at different apps and how they implement quality checks, if at all. Now I am wondering how data quality issues are dealt with in ushahidi mobile application. I see it is not yet possible to customize forms and to use mandatory or range restrictions. But you have guidelines for checking the data afterwards. What are your experiences with the data you are creating with mobile applications? I am trying to find examples of people who actually use ushahidi for collection field data and how you treat the question of quality?What measures do you undertake to ensure data quality? What is "quality data" for you anyways? Would love to hear some comments on that! Thanks a lot! Henriette from Berlin
