Hi all,
I've got a practical question: how can I download archetypes from a
repository into the archetype editor?
I've installed TortoiseCVS and created a local file. What CVS ROOT do I
need to specify in the Checkout dialog? (and am I right that this is all
I need to fill in in the dialog box?)
Couldn't find any info about downloading from a repository or CVS roots
on the website, except a link to a tgz file which is/should be at
[http://oceaninformatics.biz/archetype\_editor/help/ht\_start.htm](http://oceaninformatics.biz/archetype_editor/help/ht_start.htm) that
didn't work. Nothing happened.
Would it be an idea to publish instructions for downloading a repository
into the Archetype Editor?
Regards,
Josina Freriks

Hi Josina,
you need TortoiseSVN, not TortoiseCVS!

where was the link above found? We will correct it...

Hi Josina,
[http://svn.openehr.org/knowledge](http://svn.openehr.org/knowledge)
is what I think you need - it is about 90mb but will give you all the NHS models (archetypes and templates) as well as the official OpenEHR archetypes
Thanks for your contribution last week. It was a very enjoyable experience and a very lovely place to live for a few days - I wish UK hospitals were as clean and efficient.
If you need further help, just let me know.
Ian

Hi Josina (so we have a philosopher involved)
The latest release of the Ocean Editor (End Nov 2007) will allow download from the SVN repository directly over the web.
