I think what you are looking for is going to require a >narrowed listing of software categories. I agree with Tim. In fact, I would go a step further and suggest that the narrowness of each software category must be dynamic and modifiable over time (just as in any knowledge representation scheme). (This is the approach taken with the OIO Library). >Also, doesn't the >SPIRIT project cover open source in general (forgive my laziness >not reviewing it again) and not just healthcare specific? In my view, SPIRIT is a timely and promising opportunity to move open source healthcare projects into wider dissemination, especially in Europe. I am sure many of us would like to help make it into a success and thus benefiting our cause and respective projects. The Minoru group has done some excellent work in the past including this openhealth-list. Although we would be able to coordinate our efforts and contribute more to SPIRIT if we know more about it, I am sure Joseph et al will tell us more when they can. Cheers, Andrew --- Andrew P.
