Help for 0.9.x series

Submitted by irv on Sun, 2007-06-17 16:18

Greetings:

I've written to some of you. Why are we asking for help with FreeMED?

FreeMED is entirely community developed. We need programming help in three distinct areas. As many of you know we're moving to a 0.9.x version. Those of you who assist with the programming team with have early access to 0.9 and its upgrades (although remember it is a Beta version).

Area one: We need some help with the billing and billing program REMITT interrelationships. Although the billing works in some fashions, there is a great deal of work to do on the GUI side. Please contact me as the director of the foundation, for more information or to be on this team. When you write, I will give you more information as well as contacts for that working group. I'm hoping to have 3-4 people who can contribute code. PLEASE sign an NDA /CLA so that your code can be added.

Area two: We need help with writing reports from FreeMED. There is an extensive reporting engine: however, we need lots of reports. Please again write to me as the director of the foundation, for more information or to be on this reports team. PLEASE sign an NDA /CLA so that your code can be added.

Area three: GUI and Widget development for 0.9.x series: This requires some special knowledge of DOJO toolkits as well as PHP and MySQL. If you have these skills please drop a line to me as the director of the foundation, and please sign an NDA /CLA so that your code can be added.

FreeMED is yours. You, the community make it what it may become. Many of you are interested in clinical paradigms and outcome work is being handled here. I have a special interest in seeing some of the pay for performance paradigms placed within FreeMED. Our 0.9.x series features an interesting way to track and to do what we had always hoped FreeMED would do, put the power of the information into the hands of those who need it most, the physicians.

Thank you
