I am pleased to announce that developmental versions of some tools for population health epidemiology and public health are now available under a free, open source software license - see http://www.netepi.org (please note that the release notes for the NetEpi Analysis tool can be found in the documentation section of the project web page on SourceForge).
The current development team (comprising two members: Andrew McNamara and myself) will be working on NetEpi fairly intensively over the first half of 2005, with a view to a "Version 1.0" release of the tools by mid-year. We would be very happy to hear from anyone wishing to contribute to development in any way, including assistance with informal and/or formal testing of each new version. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Festive Season and a free and open source New Year, Tim C Sydney, Australia
