Hi Bhaskar,

It's the time-frame I'm concerned about. I wouldn't be able to help at all as I have other commitments the next 3 weeks or so. So I thought it was logical to suggest the March dateline so that there is time to discuss, plan and do a good proposal. I'm off to Singapore tomorrow morning myself and will be away for a couple of days. We'll need someone else to co-ordinate if its going to be the Oct dateline otherwise I can do that for the later date.

Molly, thank you for bringing this to the VistA community's attention.
This looks like a good vehicle to get the funding to tweak wine to get
CPRS to run under wine on Linux.  Is there any reason not submit a
proposal for the October, 2005 deadline?  Or are you concerned about
possible competition for your Primacare proposal?

I personally cannot work on this right now because I am leaving town
early Friday morning, and will be traveling in Europe all of next week.
Also, I don't have the skills to set up VistA to demonstrate CPRS.

If there are any volunteers, here is how I propose that we set up the
technical side.

1. Start with an OpenVistA VivA FOIA Gold 20050825 live DVD and either a
512 MB USB flash drive.

2. Install a VistA environment to the USB flash drive.

3. Run the VistA environment and configure the VistA environment to
accept CPRS connections, and load up enough data on one dummy patient to
demonstrate what works and what doesn't work with CPRS.

4. Using the CPRS on the live DVD, copy the executable and run it on
Windows and run it locally under wine.

5. Write up a summary of what works and what doesn't.  (Presumably
everything works on Windows and some/many things don't work under wine
on Linux.]

6. Zip up the contents of the configured database and get it over to
Molly along with the write up.

Although I will be traveling, I will check my e-mail at least once a
day, if not more often, and will render whatever assistance I can.

Please contact me offline if you would like to volunteer.  I will also
contact Codeweavers and put them in touch with the volunteers and Molly.
Thank you very much.

P.S.  If there is a better version of VistA / CPRS to demonstrate what
doesn't work (e.g., the VA demo), I would be happy to create a live
CD/DVD on my return the week of October 11.

Bhaskar, There is a ICT R&D grant programme for Asia and Pacific region given out twice a year. See this. http://www.apdip.net/projects/ictrnd

Someone can do a proposal to tweak wine... There is one with a
closing date of Oct 15th. I'm already submitting a proposal for my own project in PrimaCare but I can assist in the proposal if I get help for the technical part for the March 2006 dateline.
