Re: [DISCUSS] Accepting Android Client 2.0 (Fineract CN Mobile) into Apache Fineract

[Ed Cable <ed...@mifos.org>]

I'm going to close this discussion now as Rajan has answered all the
questions that were raised.

I'm also sharing the blog post he shared on Medium -
https://medium.com/@therajanmaurya/apache-gsoc-2017-blog-post-f2791dc136b5
-  which outlines his full experience working on the mobile app during GSOC

I will start the subsequent vote thread.
