Open Data Kit (ODK) is suite of tools that enables users to collect their own rich data. ODK is designed to let users own, visualize, and share data without the difficulties of setting up and maintaining servers. The tools are easy to use, deploy, and scale. They also go beyond open source — they’re based on open standards and supported by a larger community.
ODK’s goals are to make tools modular and customizable so that they can be easily composed into appropriate arrangements for each deployment; exploit open interfaces and standards so that solutions are not "siloed" into monolithic enterprise-level packages tha tare difficult to understand and maintain; and establish data collection tools at the cutting edge of technology so as to avoid early obsolescence and make it easier to attract talented developers.
Citizen journalism, and with it the rise of alternative media voices, is one of the most exciting possibilities for mobile phones in activism.
