Note: use github over sourceforge for discussions/tracking

Developers,

Please use the Github issue tracker / Github projects over Sourceforge for discussion and issue tracking.

A bunch of us have been using Github for issues ( Issues · openemr/openemr · GitHub ) and Github projects ( 5.0.0 Release · GitHub and Backend Modernization · GitHub ). It has been working great.

Note that Github does not replace http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Active_Projects - it is supplementary.

Thanks,
Matthew

Github seems rather code-oriented. Do you want more general/conceptual development-related topics and questions over there too?

Rod,

People tend to use issues as threads. There are many open source projects that operate in this way using Github, Bitbucket, etc.

We can even go as far as having labels like “discussion”, “question”, “suggestion”, “meta”, etc.

Thanks,
Matthew

Thanks Matthew, sounds like you prefer no new threads in this (Developers) sub-forum then. I think that will work for me.

Is there a preferrably a Slack channel or maybe even and old irc channel where discussions can be carried out?

How do you get in touch with the admin to request an invite?

This is where you request the invitation(the invitation is immediate and doesn’t need to go through an admin):
