Hi Tim, you probably should email Andrew Goodchild (Andrew Goodchild <andrewg at dstc.edu.au>) about the back-end in use in Brisbane - he can give you details. In terms of open source back-ends, there is a lot of activity on the Java / Hibernate / MySQL one being developed in Europe. We think it should be running by the end of the year (actually, it is running right now, but not all of it is open source). We are a bit derailed at the moment due to having to move everything to subversion, which I am in the middle of. But we hope we can make the basic system available in the next 8 weeks. - thomas - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
