David, Providing a web page of open source listings on the new Center for HIT website is a great idea. There are a couple of places now where information of this sort is being maintained. The SPIRIT project, Linuxmednews and some individually maintained lists. But they are not focused on primary care.
Perhaps this is an area where OSHCA can collaborate with AAFP? Fred would you be interested in helping put together this list under the OSHCA umbrella for the AAFP site? David what do you think?
