Even in the absence of readily available working implementations of openEHR 
back-ends and other tools, I think people will still be influenced by informal and 
formal evaluations and reports on pilot implementations. But these do have to be 
published (online is fine). Assurances in an email message from members of the  
core openEHR team that  "it worked well when we tried it" don't cut the mustard 
with managers (like me) who are deciding if and when to invest resources in 
openEHR, or something else.
