Hi Tony, There are several proof-of-concepts of building applications in different UI frameworks on top of the OpenMRS API at http://svn.openmrs.org/openmrs-contrib/ui-frameworks/. (Mostly java-based, but there's also ruby-on-rails-over-jruby.)
This is old (pre-maven), but hopefully helpful. -Darius On Wednesday, October 12, 2011, Daniel Kayiwa wrote: > > Hi Tony, > > Please allow me start by thanking you for all the great work you are doing, > most especially in the medical field, and the willingness to help us improve > our documentation!!!
