OCL

Jonathan Payne

Progress:

• Darius just kicked off a new volunteer development project to create an “OCL for OpenMRS” user interface

• Rafal has continued with performance improvements for OCL that will speed up and stabilize all queries related to collections and will support much greater scale

• All tickets have been consolidated into one GitHub repo to help us get to a place where community members can easily identify open tickets and consider contributing. Here is the repo: https://github.com/OpenConceptLab/ocl_issues/issues#boards?repos=122384560

• PEPFAR is starting to build a new lightweight app to manage indicators and indicator mappings that uses OCL underneath — this is an interesting extension that is becoming increasingly relevant as DHIS2 users consider OCL to manage metadata
  
  

Blockers:

• We do not currently have a developer dedicated to the OCL core
  
  

Community Involvement:

• OCL is not great at community engagement and there are many ways that we could improve, from better user documentation, better technical API references, a new marketing website (e.g. based on WordPress) to let people know how to engage and where to get the software, etc.

• If there are members of the community interested in supporting any of these activities, that would be amazing!

Question: OCL for OMRS application what documentation to be produced? Probably not from OCL itself.
