Hi Mauri Niemi,
My sponsors, M/s Planettel Asia Pacific Pte Ltd., Singapore is actively
sustaining the development work by providing a couple of OpenVZ containers and
host access to test and bugfix the current SVN trunk version of Care2x. The
Mobile market is exploding but the Service providers are not making access any
cheaper in the long run atleast in the poorer countries blaming it on
corruption and protection / licencing rackets. SMS based operation rather than
GUI based ones will be appealing to the younger generation (owing to cost and
familiarity). Just my 2c. TerraNet from Sweden - http://www.terranet.se/ - is
developing technologies on extension will enable us to have a WiFi Network
without Service providers!
The current database is a mere set of tables and all the intelligence and
workflow is hidden in the php scripting. It does take a while before any new
developer can reach ninja status to fix and extend Care2x. I have managed upto
18 hours a day for several days just to cut to the chase - in the last one
month that I have been actively involved. From Day 1, GJ and Robert have been
very helpful and have provided me SVN write access at once. Thankyou indeed for
the trust you have reposed in me.
I have evaluated OpenEMR - highly developed as it may be - it has a severe
learning curve - and seems intimidating to the first time user. Comparatively,
Care2x has a friendly and intuitive interface, that will seem attractive to the
non-technical user. In fact, coming from a coding background, I found OpenEMR
very nice to offer a client - the client put their foot down and said that
Care2x is the way they would want to go - and here I am - contributing to
Care2x. The customer is always right - isn't it?
Regards,
Ap.Muthu
Hi Everybody,
You have seen from mailing list during the last months what few active people
can do with open source software. Gjergj, Muthu and Robert have done great job
recently and hope we can find more active people, from the old guard as well as
fresh new brains to the team.
I looked all who have mailed in the last months to care2x developers list and
send this mail privately to all of you. We are looking for people who could
test the fresh updates and report bugs and help to make software stable. Of
course we are happy to get more developers to work on the code to speed up the
development. Recently in our Tanzanian national discussion list somebody
compared how much support OpenMRS has got from international ogranizations. If
we focus more in poor countries we have bigger possibilities to get support
from development organizations. Somebody with interest to market Care2x to
possible partners would be needed.
We have recently started to develop simpler version, to fit front end to
smart phones and later to have fully mobile mobile version for small clinics.
Mobile phone applications are exploding and I believe Care2x should be there in
one way or other. That would solve a lot of maintenance and support issues in
developing countries, where everybody has phone but few have computers and
reliable power source.
If you can give your time for the project in one way or other please mail
back to me or Robert Meggle.
Best
Mauri Niemi
