Agenda

  • Planning IRC Town Hall for GSoC?

Minutes

  • Sync Hackathon in late August.

  • Deciding what to put on the agenda for today's meeting.

  • Justin announced new developer in Sri Lanka offering to help with UI redesign.

  • Planning IRC Town Hall for GSoC and OpenMRS Internship Program?

    • Interns can interact as group to share what they've worked on so far.

    • Yea/Nay?

    • A showcase of projects should be necessary to get feedback on projects.

    • Objective is more than getting projects done, it's for students to be involved in open source project.

  • Reviewing OpenMRS 1.5 RC lab

    • HtmlFormentry and FormEntry are included.

    • Forms tab on patient dashboard was removed and replaced with an "Enter Form" button under the Encounters tab.

      • AMPATH needs a data entry interface... our opinion is continue to use Forms tab.

      • LEMMA: We should not make any significant changed to the UI without discussing it first.

      • We could make a configuration option to display/hide the forms tab.

      • Or "FormEntry" tab in core openmrs that can be optionally displayed and that supports any module that wants to add forms related items under the tab.

      • We should also allow viewing Observations independent of viewing an Encounter.

        • Separating Encounter from Forms is on Road Map

  • Under Encounters Tab - Edit and View buttons can be overridden to provide different functionality.

    • However, behaviors launched by icons should be consistent with the icon. Should use different icons for different behaviors or keep the actions consistent among encounters on the page.

    • Instead of some icons under View replacing the page and other icons launching a pop-up window, we could consistently use a modal pop-up that grays out the background.

    • Would be good to review a long, complex form on lab5.

    • If we decide to use modal pop-up, it is preferable that the ESCAPE key backs out of the modal interface.

    • AMPATH: only about 1% of Encounters get edited.

  • Status of Logic Branch?

    • Needs Code Review.

    • Deprecate logic that is already in core OpenMRS yes/no? Or move that into a module?

    • TODO: Schedule a high-level Code Review of logic and move code into trunk.

  • TODO's before 1.5 release:

    • Bring back the Form tab on Patient Dashboard.

    • Remove Edit button under Encounter tab and put it on the page shown by the View button.

    • Use modal pop-up for action after clicking on an encounter under the Encounter tab.

    • Clean up version 1.4 critical tickets

  • Burke does stand up comedy while sitting down.
