About

The documentation team is a group of individuals passionate about accurately and efficiently representing ideas and solutions in written format for consumption by anyone within or outside the OpenMRS community. Our purpose is to ensure all OpenMRS products (Wiki, Website, GitBook) are well-documented with concise, updated information by sharing and implementing the best documentation practices.

Active Projects

Team and Squad Project Pages

Current Status:VERY ACTIVE

How does this project fit in with the strategy?

As a community-driven organization, it is essential that new and current members can access information on what each squad and team is working on. This led to the need to create wiki project pages that give an overview of ongoing projects. 

Our overall goal is to ensure that all community members are informed, up-to-date and aligned with the community happenings.

Current Project Pages:

• Quality Assurance Support Team
• OpenMRS Dictionary Manager Squad
