This thread will try to identify the tooling categories needed for a successful collaboration.
Categories:
Collaboration
Forums:
InfoCentral - Built in work group forum for managing group communications
Zulip - international meeting place of FHIR experts and integrators
Group Conferencing:
InfoCentral - Built in videoconferencing tool to reach any group member (Zoom available through the WebConference tab)
Members' own, corporate or private conferencing tool (e.g. WebEx)
Meeting Scheduling:
InfoCentral - Built in scheduling tool - events appear in the group and top level InfoCentral news feed - can be downloaded as iCal events
Private scheduling tools - anything recommended?
Document repository:
InfoCentral - Built in document repository in Documents tab
Cloud services - anything recommended?
FHIR Editors - i.e. what tools to use to create/modify FHIR artefacts
This depends mostly on what build and publishing environment we decide on using
If we use the FHIR Implementation Guide building tool, the input, hence editor to that is an Excel spreadsheet
If we were to use Simplifier.net as publishing, we would like have to use Forge tools
For the time being suggest the IG build tool hence the excel approach - easy entry level
Source control - this refers to FHIR artefacts, NOT WG material
SVN - Infoway has one that could support an overnight/on demand/continuous build for the created FHIR artefacts
Something else?
Build and publishing
Implementation Guide building tools that the international FHIR team is using - identify the input to this - will drive the SVN content
Is the Simplifier.net a viable alternative?
Anything else?
Scope definition and integration
Since all this work is done to improve/extend existing resources and build new capabilities, I suggest that we track these goals in a simple but formalized manner by collecting their summaries in Standards Selection Guides that can be searched and shared with everyone - a few samples will be published very shortly.
