Perhaps what is even more unfortunate is that the template _specification_ is not available so that others can make alternative tools. I understand that these things take time. Thomas Beale explained in an earlier posting that they wanted to test the ideas before publishing a specification and that they did get the wanted feedback from the NHS prototyping activities. I guess what is lacking now is time, resources and/or possibilities to prioritize specification authoring. Correct? Any timing estimates when a draft might be available? Regarding the "openEHR Specification Project Release Plan" I wonder if it is still up to date. Is the document linked below the latest version? http://www.openehr.org/svn/specification/TAGS/Release-1.0.1/todo.htm I wonder if it would be possible to adjust the release plan so that template spec comes already in the next release. To make realistic clinical demo systems something like templates is a crucial missing piece. It's even more important than the security IM and EHR_EXTRACT in many demo use-cases. I believe the availability of more/free demo systems is of utmost importance for the credibility of the openEHR right now.
