The openEHR 2014 roadmap meeting in Norway agreed on starting a community tooling project to create a new open source based web-accessible archetype and template editing framework/workbench capable of ADL 2.0 (formerly named ADL 1.5).
This will be a joint open effort by industry, academia, healthcare organizations and other openEHR community members.
If you are interested in joining the first (and possibly the second) online live discussion hour in this project, then indicate preferred times on the “Doodle” at http://doodle.com/gm456xavg3fcgvw5 at latest during Monday (yes now October 13). It covers some of the upcoming weeks. Apologies for not providing perfect timing alternatives for all timezones around the globe. Joining the live discussion is of course not a requirement to join the project, your ideas, contributions and feedback is welcome via other channels.
This mail is cross-posted to both the implementers and the technical lists, but please respond and discuss the project only on the implementers list openehr-implementers@lists.openehr.org or/and on the project wikipage mentioned above.
I have dreamed of this for a long time, it is wonderful to see others lead these great ideas into reality. With this, the community will be stronger than ever!
I would like to highlight the importance this will have for training and sharing knowledge.
I absolutely agree! I am sorry I cannot participate, my web-programming is really not very strong ;-), and also, next Monday I go on holiday. I hope you will have a lot of support, and maybe later, another meeting, there are some small things I can do. Best regards Bert

In the eventual march to a new tool(s) for archetype / template / ref-set / AQL? / GDL editing, one thing that might help people is to work more with the current ADL Workbench, to just get a better idea of ADL 2 (was ADL 1.5), and some possible functionalities for the next generation tooling. Don't worry too much about the UI (although the grid/tree visualiser isn't bad), but more the conceptual functions and views available. We've learned a lot from the CIMI user community, and some of these lessons will be useful for openEHR.
To give a very simple example: just recently I added a feature to enable a right-click create template, which helps the modeller visualise the fully flattened structure he/she has created. Another recent feature is Github integration, which enables Git repos of archetypes to be accessed from the Workbench, with no other tools (other than Git installed somewhere on your machine obviously).
I'm aiming to put a series of interim builds up for which I would like some testers to volunteer. Please watch this list
