Much of the user-facing features of this application are being migrated to https://github.com/kobotoolbox/kpi. KoBoCAT's data-access API and OpenRosa functions will remain intact, and any plans to the contrary will be announced well in advance. For more details and discussion, please refer to https://community.kobotoolbox.org/t/contemplating-the-future-of-kobocat/2743.
As features are migrated, we will list them here along with the last release where each was present:
- REST Services - an improved version has been added to KPI. Last KoBoCAT release 2.019.39.
kobocat is the data collection platform used in KoBoToolbox. It is based on the excellent onadata platform developed by Ona LLC, which in itself is a redevelopment of the formhub platform developed by the Sustainable Engineering Lab at Columbia University.
Please refer to kobo-install for instructions on how to install KoBoToolbox.
- logger - This app serves XForms to and receives submissions from ODK Collect and Enketo.
