Hi everyone, When answering a question from Tony Austin, I ended up at this link : http://www.openehr.org/repositories/spec-dev/latest/publishing/CM/CM_plan/REV_HIST.html (pick the latest version)
The question I have is about Chapter 7 & 8 (from now on called document). Is the description of the documennt what will be used for every subproject of openEhr (with subproject in this case I mean project where actually programming takes place) and is this considered a manual for people who want to start programming openEHR like stuff under the umbrella of openehr.org ? What is the goal of the openehr project ? Does it want to something like how Apache works (see http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html) or does the openehr project want a different direction ? If it is meant as the apache way and(which is what I read between the lines) and the chapters are the "official way", you should probably change chapter 7 & 8 to be the text of the how it works html file (with some changes of course). Or point to a simple (html) file from the web site describing the process within openehr.org and refer from there for the people interested in reading the chapters 7 & 8. Describing how something should work (related to a community, in this case an open source community), must, in my view be kept simple. If you skim through the document (what I did in the first place, since there was a lot of text), people like me (= who likes to program and never RTFM, unless really necessary) get scared and draw wrong conclusions. Too much formality is scary (at least for people like me) :) Hope no one (esp. Thomas) feels offended, since it is not meant that way. (I admire the way you guys can write specs, if people ask me where my specs are "Read the code" will be my answer). -- Mvgr, Martin - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
