We have now uploaded what is intended as the release candidate for version 1 of EpiData Manager and EntryClient.

Users are encouraged to: a. test the software b. comment on this list whether you find the products ready for release with the currently implemented functionality.

Remaining issues before actual release are: a. Completing technical documentation on the wiki system at www.epidata.org/dokuwiki/ including a schema file for the xml b. Updating and finalising introduction documents and guides c. Updating wiki system with examples d. Fixing any bugs reported

Following release of version 1 development continues and will focus on: Translation of interface, several dataforms in one project, key (unique), validation of duplicate files, GCP etc.
