The recent emails regarding care2x in Argentina, and the low level of response reminded me that I have been meaning to send this email for sometime.
Having spoken to some Universities recently the general opinion seems to be that Care2x rates very highly amongst open source HIS in terms of the amount of functionality, but most people tell me they believe the project to be dead. Is this true? I know Moye and others are working on the East African branch, that Gjergj is working with Albanian hospitals, and Robert is working in Germany but in overall project terms activity is very low. Emails to this mailing list rarely get answered, and the web site has not been updated in a long time. There has been intermittent discussions for many years about a rewrite from scratch but I do not see any progress on this and I think if it was going to be achieved it would be - Sorry if that sounds harsh but as can be seen here http://sourceforge.net/p/care2002/mailman/care2002-developers/?style=flat&viewmonth=200803&viewday=8 this is a very very old topic in care2x. That leaves taking the current code and moving it on. This is a big job as PHP/mysql has moved on a long way and a lot of stuff that existing care2x depends on is now deprecated and even removed. If you don't believe me set error_reporting to -1 and set display_errors to On in PHP and then try using Care2x. I tried sending emails to the list a few months ago to try and generate discussion and help on these issues but got very few replies and even less help. Just getting it working with PHP 5.5 would be a time consuming job that requires a dedicated group of people. The work is not that tough, but there is a lot and is too much for one person. So what do people see as the future of Care2x? Is there a group of people interested in working on bringing the current code up to scratch?
