there will be soon - in a matter of weeks. An initial cut of Java has been done by the Swedish company Acode; the UCL team in London have been reviewing it, and I think that Acode will probably produce another cut before it goes into openEHR (e.g. to include Java generics and such like). So it's just a matter of the time to do this, then organise the BitKeeper source control details, and get it up on the server, at which point it will be announced. We are also getting Bugzilla up and running for openEHR. In the weeks leading up to the end of the year, we (myself working with the original core team in Australia and UCL) aim to get a development roadmap written, which can be published for discussion here. I know lots of people would like to get right onto coding, but I cannot emphasise enough the value of planning and the large amounts of time it will save the community as a whole. This plan has to be cognisent of the fact that various members of the community have their own agendas, e.g. to build a certain kind of application or tool, or to do some research, or run some kind of clinical trial, perhaps win contracts within their national health system and so on. So it will aim to be as modular as possible. I would suggest that programming activities might start in earnest in the new year rather than right now - from the point of view of making the best use of others' efforts as well as one's own. - thomas beale - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
