Hi all: You may consider me a stranger, an outsider... As an outsider to the project, I can see that: 1) The various web pages that refer to the project are so outdated giving the idea of a dead project. At http://www.care2x.org/ you can see: Demo Page online! Submitted by admin on Wed, 11/17/2

Hi Tim, Yes, 2.7. We should have this on our track. There is not all included what I think should be on a next release. But my time to contribute ran out and I am not sure how much I can do here for the leaving tasks in the near future (meaning: October). One should be that gui/smarty_templa

Hi Moye, I agree about bringing all the versions together and this is something I have written about before.

Care2x is still rated highly among HMIS . I believe the project is very much alive in some regions. The ones that feel the project is dead is because support for their localized versions is very little. One of the challenges I see is that the localized versions differ too much from the mainline ve
