Hi All, When Ben mentioned it on a recent thread, I realized we haven't given an update on the dev list of where things stand with Logic 2.0<https://wiki.openmrs.org/x/jYW5AQ> .
We spent quite a few design calls working out a new approach to the core OpenMRS logic service. Basically, what we'd previously defined was too concretely specified, and wasn't designed in a way that let us iterate on it easily. The existing logic module will no longer be a core module<https://wiki.openmrs.org/x/2REz>, and we'll be transferring ownership of it to the Chica team. They will be able to focus on the module's core competency of letting you write high-level rules in Arden, and optimizing the parser. We'll be introducing a new core module: the Calculation module, which Wyclif did the groundwork for a couple weeks ago. This will be a * lightweight* module, which defines the interfaces needed to "calculate XYZ about about a patient or cohort" (hence the name) but we will *not* specify how that should be done. I'm pretty excited about this idea, and kudos especially to Mike Seaton for having pushed us in this direction. Next week we'll start a two-week sprint on the Calculation module, with the approximate goals of: - finish off remaining tickets in the core calculation module - retrofit the reporting module to plug into these interfaces - retrofit the logic module to plug into these interfaces Mike and I will both be in Indianapolis on Wednesday; our schedule will be quite packed, but can we find a block where Tammy, Steve, Win, and Wyclif are available for some last-minute sprint planning? -Darius _________________________________________ To unsubscribe from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list, send an e-mail to [email protected] with "SIGNOFF openmrs-devel-l" in the body (not the subject) of your e-mail.
