Hi Johan

Lars,
I am to meet a technical writer on tuesday to discuss terms of references
for documentation. HMN will pay. Why dont you come? There are some issues we
should sort out, like "FOSS" design,
    

I think we should agree in principle on an appropriate copyright
licence prior to engaging writers - given the need for translation et
al, I would suggest that a creative-commons attribution only licence
would be appropriate.
These are the things I would like to discuss, but of which I know very little. Anyway, though HMN is willing to pay to improve the product they're using in Sierra Leone, they don't want to own the documentation. So any advice on licence we can put on it, which I guess will be on the same entity as the software (U. of Oslo), will be appreciated.

I guess the other issue you are touching on is "source code" ... what
do you proposes?
It must be written on some open platform, and if the output is a pdf (maybe generated from some wiki-like tool), we should also have the plain text and be able to do whatever we want with it (change screenshots, text, etc etc)
Johan

Bob

  
so we can easily add things ourselves
later, and of course some thinking about how we can keep track of versions
in different languages.

Hi,

there has been lots of talk about from various people why we should have and
need a user manual. Yet no action has been taken, except from the Indian
team who has made a good document which could be used as a starting point
for a "global" manual.

Is there anyone out there that feel like contributing and actually do some
work here? Don't worry to much about formats, sharing etc, we can simply
start with a word / odf document and put it in launchpad. I am happy to help
out here.

Also, we do have a easy-help solution in place in DHIS 2 which needs to be
populated with meaningful and informative help messages. If anyone feel like
contributing I will help with the details.

cheers,

Lars
