Thanks Richard for the MySource Matrix link, which we will follow up. Supported open source platforms would offer a lot of benefits, such as longetivity and development of additional features, but is not a requirement. There is no shortage of products including open source that could handle the CMS and web delivery requirements, however finding an integrator with experience on taking the material through to professional print and a range of electronic formats from one of these systems has not been harder, though the project may still need to do some prioritisation around these.
Integrating with Communicare, Ferret and PCIS (used in NT community health clinics) is a key requirement, which they've indicated could be readily achieved with an XML output of the resource with an index page in ICPC2 clinical terms. GP desktop systems may well also be utilised in this contest, and I would be interested to hear if your experiences in this regard Elizabeth. Supporting electronic decision support systems will be a major future challenge. Thanks for your comments and I would urge you to forward it to any projects that have covered similar ground. Jon can you recommend a contact at NSW Breast Cancer Institute in relation to the system there?

They wont have any ideological axe to grind re software/Medicare etc etc. The Alice Springs Congress IT setup seemed to be very professionally run and reliable I suspect they are mainly interested in clinical results - whatever gets them that with minimal fuss. A Uni comp science dept would probably not be able to provide ongoing support.
