UNIX is so more powerful *and* robust because it is built on a large number
of small programs that each do one job very well, but can interact nicely
with all others - instead of depending on unwieldy and unflexible monoliths.
I don't envision one application that is everything to everybody. I envision
a modular environment where OSCAR's appointment module can interact freely
and efficiently with Care2x' lab module and gnumed's prescribing module and
.... so forth.
We really should each focus on designing a small module with a well defined
scope, implement it well, and publish a platform/language independent RPC API
for it. If we could work out a common *framework* in which such independent
modules can exist and cooperate efficiently (and pain free for the
developers), we would well deserve our place in the history of health
informatics.
