home page modifications

Dear all,

I have made some slight changes on the right hand side of the openEHR Home page. It seems I have to publish them live (I know this is evil, but if you don’t do that, Daisy does something really stupid - it puts a huge yellow banner across the top of the page saying ‘this is not the latest’… maybe it can be done with ‘variants’? Don’t have the time to work it out…).

Anyway, the links are the same as the used to be, but now:

  • better organised, easier to see?
  • there are two new links - the ones under the CKM link
    Let me know if you don’t like any of this, or if it can be improved, or if the home page could be improved generally.

thanks

Good links but the mindmap and Stats don’t appear as sub topics under CKM, and so it is not obvious they are part of CKM but appear as equal links in their own right.

exactly the idea :wink: It’s not about CKM, it is about being able to see the level of engagement of the archetype-building community…

But it is exactly about CKM usage, being archetypes only in the first instance. Later will come templates and terminology subsets…

CKM is just a means; the intention on the website is to give the community a live feedback on what the clinical engagement is.

Both links work for me. But I always get the CKM wiki page pop up
right after the real CKM page is loaded. Why is that?

Well, just for the record - it makes no sense to me at all.

The user state page from CKM is just not giving feedback on clinical engagement - it simply is showing total registered users including lurkers and ‘interested parties’; also reviewers, including technicians, informaticians, terminologists and sundry, not just clinicians. In fact, most users are not clinicians who want to participate in reviews. Plus, the focus today is on archetypes, but in a few weeks could contain other artefacts.

What it does reflect is general activity, curiosity and interest in any or all of openEHR, openEHR artefacts, clinician engagement, model collaboration etc, but nothing more specific, and you just can’t read any more into the figures or graphs.

It is just showing user stats for CKM.

Don’t get me wrong - I was blown away by seeing those stats in a graphical view, and have been showing everyone - with a more than positive response. I’m so excited that we’re getting some traction and interest …but it just doesn’t represent specifically what you have just expressed that you want it to.

I think this is intentional - to put you to the help page first. It
drives me mad too.. I will ask to see if it can be changed!

I can understand it's done only once a month or better if any changes
have been done to CKM lately but certainly not every time! I CC
Sebastian on this now and hope he can fix this soon.

Dear Tom,

Thanks for making these changes.
I would suggest that the entry points sub-menu appears below start here, followed by archetypes and then tech stuff.

Also, can you remove events of 2008 from the home page? Some of those months are coming round again. For example, it looks to the casual reader as if we have a forthcoming course in September 2009.

With best wishes,

Dipak

that’s where it used to be, but the problem is that we have not updated the information, and for some of those links, the information is not developed at all. I suggest that we have a look at the content of those pages and make them more useful before making the links more prominent…

good point…I think we need to get Helma to do this - probably the query needs to be reformulated so that events are removed say 2 weeks after their final date?
