Project Name & Outcome	Project Rating and Length	What this project is about	REQUIRED skills	Primary Mentor	Backup Mentor
O3: User Onboarding	Medium 175 hours	Implement User Onboarding in the Test 3 and O3 demo environments, like these designs show. Introduce users to major features in a typical generic outpatient workflow.	React	@Dennis Kigen (Unlicensed)
Next Generation Implementer Tools for OpenMRS 3 Redesigned config tools for O3	Advanced 350 hours	Non-tech users can set up a 3.x EMR in a friendly, no-code UI, similar to designing a website. Empowers local team members to set up and config their EMR themselves. More detailed user stories and requirements documented here. Project plan documented here. Scope: technical work on the redesigned config tools for O3. *Design is done because Ampath/@jdick graciously contributed designs and user testing, sample designs, and @bistenes gave a lot of architectural and technical input but then had to set the project aside.	React Javascript Typescript	@Vineet Sharma	@Hadijah Kyampeire
Validating and re-working (updating) the OpenMRS PatientFlags module	Medium 175 hours	Patient Flags feature cannot be added to RefApp 3.x just because the supporting OpenMRS PatientFlags module has a number of loop-holes. This is blocking the progress of the ANC prototype the initial milestone was displaying Patient Flags to the Frontend. Reference: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-esm-patient-chart/pull/926#issuecomment-1419165955	Java REST APIs	@Ian Bacher	@Daniel Kayiwa
O3: Search Patient Chart feature	Advanced 350 hours	E.g. search all of a particular patient chart for an item of interest, e.g. "IUD" or "COVID", to find if that term/situation has ever come up for this patient. We can likely leverage this past work: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-chartsearch Will need an API.		@Ian Bacher
