Hi, Well the functionality of the demo at https://care2x.kwamoja.org is probably more than 6 years old, though a lot of development work went in to making it PHP7.x compatible. As I said before (though I always tend to do these things forgetting that most people reading it are not native English speakers) what I am trying to do is to re-create care2x with code that I believe is easier for people who are not professional coders to understand, and therefore contribute to. My initial aim is to have exactly the same functionality that care2x currently has, while adding in stuff like my billing engine, procurement system, and stock control systems that already exist. To do this we required a reference system showing the functionality I wished to incorporate that I could share with my colleagues, and so was available over the web. As the "official" demo on the web site does not work, and I was told there was no plan to make it work, I set up the demo on kwamoja.org. I publicised it just in case it was of use to others. I am sure there are bugs in it, there were hundreds of changes needed doing to make it 7.x compatible and it would be a major shock if I hadn't missed a few, or I did a few wrong. There are numerous versions of care2x in use around the world, and I had to pick one, and that is the one I picked. I understand that what I am doing may seem to be dictatorial, and some may say there should be more discussions about how I am doing it, In my defence this project has had more than it's fair share of discussions, and I have repeatedly tried to get things moving on this mailing list and have failed to generate interest so in the end I took the decision to go my own way. Once we get to a certain point it will become imperative that other developers are attracted to it, but I don't want to get bogged down at this moment with hypothetical discussions about peoples favourite frameworks, toolkits, etc which experience tells me will happen if we release too early. Hopefully what we come up with is going to be of use to some people, and will form the basis for future work. If nobody likes it, well at least I tried...
