Any HIS, because it stores real human health data has associated: - morbility (someone may get hurt in consequence of a bug in the code, or in the greneral workflow of the sw package) - mortality (someone may die because of such non-intended software effects). As such the usefulness of a HIS supporting SW results manly from keeping it SIMPLE and SECURE. I do not want to start one of those endless "my baby is betters than yours" discussions about the better way to support HIS software. But Zend is neither simple, nor has it been proved to be safe in supporting Health IT SW in its many years of existence (and of several aborted tentatives of making it support real life Health IT SW). Some souls may be tempted by Zend's claim described at: < http://www.zend.com/en/products/guard/>, mainly "protects your applications from reverse engineering and unauthorized customization by providing encoding and obfuscation. It further protects from unlicensed use and redistribution by providing comprehensive licensing support." > 1. ease the translation documentation of care2x > a. move the current translation handling to gettext and create a > web based translation tool ( gj ) > b. move the help files to a wiki based system, > OpenEMR, a fellow open source HIS SW , has achieved this with simplicity using the free google Docs/Groups framework < http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/OpenEMR_Internationalization_Development>. It uses the free Google framework and Google translation service. Suddenly, there is every language to every user, the work to do becomes to round up the semantics. > ) ( r ) > 2. start moving files around in an mvc fashion > a. create a simple mvc fw to ease the transformation of c2x from the > current > structure to the new mvc one ( volunteers ? ) > 3. start the final move to zend framework ( volunteers ? ) > And Gjergj, we have already talked about this, do try to reduce the number of needed tables: keep it simple and secure > for the other phases we'd welcome any suggestions... > I have read somewhere in this mailing list that it is being considered to move the project's page into Drupal CMS . That would be a major improvement. But while being at it, did you noticed the similarities between a properly done and supported CMS like Drupal and a a good HIS supporting SW package? Have you noticed how the Drupal framework easily and transparently supports different DBMS like MySQl, PostgreSQL and others? Have you noticed how Drupal framework easily supports user created modules? And how easy it is to install any module (by just copying the code snippets into Drupal and click update)? Have you noticed how easily Drupal keeps a close eye on its code and on the LAMP environment, keeping you informed about problems and recommending the appropriate upgrades?
