OpenEMR documentation project

Hi @hitechelp -
This is Harley Tuck and I’ve been watching the docs project this post refers to since it began. It seems like a lot of people have some very good ideas but maybe no time to bring them to reality? Until the sexier or more modern- technology projects get on their feet I’ve been using what already exists: the OpenEMR project’s mediawiki document repository.

It has been around for a long time- right about since the beginning of OpenEMR, in fact. It has a bought- and- paid- for server infrastructure and is comparatively accessible to contributors. And it can always use contributions of documentation of new features, or old ones that have had significant functional updates.

I recently posted this to the forum as an intro to using the wiki to find information on OpenEMR:

then it accumulated posts about how to edit and contribute to it. It’d be a good place for you to start exploring what you can do to contribute your skills and talents to the OpenEMR project, if you’re interested in ‘wiki work’ as it were.

I mentioned in the wiki post above that I have developed a workflow for using LibreOffice Write to generate wiki pages. It’s a little intricate, but I don’t think it’s as involved as the other systems I’ve looked at that require adopting a lot of new habits and learning new technologies to produce what is essentially a fancy text page. I’d be glad to go over it with you.

And wouldn’t it be great to get all the best features of this marvelous healthcare tool finally documented? Keep in touch!
Best- Harley
