The Argus Challenge of November 2004 aimed to raised $10,000 to develop
an open source version of Argus that was not tied to HeSA PKI
certificates. There were a number of difficulties in getting access to
recent source code and defining exactly what would constitute the
delivered product. However, after a Herculean effort by Syan Tan an
older version of the code was hacked. It then became clear that porting
it to python was possible and the Argus Challenge slipped into abeyance.
The python version of Argus, wagtail, incorporated GPG as well as PKI of
various flavours. This work was again mainly done by Syan but also by
Tony Lembke, Ian Haywood and Horst Herb. You can download it from
subversion on this site.
I think the current status of the code is that it is functional at a
rudimentary level but requires a lot more work to make it "commercial"
grade. Apart from doing that it needs to interface to Medical Objects
web services framework. I think either of these two tasks would be
suitable for contributions from students.
Is money the answer to make it happen? Possibly but if we monetarise it,
I think we need to pay a few grand to Syan for starters. Hmm, that gives
me an idea. I'll be right back.

Can we talk about this and perhaps move things along with my suggestion
for Syan and the Health OpenWare Foundation?
I am a bit fuzzy with a cold today, but would like to discuss the whole
open source issue maybe tomorrow or when you are free. I am thinking of
ways that we can interface with the open source contributors and
advocates better.
