Hi Alvin, Mailing lists are "community driven" in that if there are no interest in discussing anything related to open source in health care, the list gets quiet. There are no official lists for open source in health care as such and I'm sure there are other lists that discuss the subject.
As for OSHCA, there are only 2 "official" lists; one for Committee Members and the other for OSHCA members which should discuss OSHCA organisational matters. If you remember, [EMAIL PROTECTED] list was formed to meet OSHCA conference attendees' request to discuss OSHCA proposed projects which may involve non-members, hence the need for a separate list as participants of the openhealth list may not be interested in OSHCA projects at all. Besides, being discussions on OSHCA projects, it is important for OSHCA to be able to manage the list. There were 4 specific "proposals" with specific names (volunteered and accepted) to lead them. As you all know from past postings, one had "resigned" or opt out of the lead role. It's difficult for me to keep asking, reminding and expecting specific performance from those who volunteered and accepted to do specific things. I guess that's the "problem" people have when considering acceptance and support for FOSS projects. Where is the responsibility and accountability when the underlying concept is "freedom to do what you like, when you like etc"? With time constraints things don't get done or delivered unless others chip in to do things and not just say what should be done. Freedom has its price too. As you're aware, there are so many upcoming activities and I repeat, OSHCA is non priority for most people who are too busy with their own things.
