# openEHR's new website - announcement and your views! **Category:** [openEHR news](https://discourse.openehr.org/c/openehr-news/9) **Created:** 2025-02-03 15:55 UTC **Views:** 1159 **Replies:** 84 **URL:** https://discourse.openehr.org/t/openehrs-new-website-announcement-and-your-views/6269 --- ## Post #1 by @marcusbaw Dear openEHR community, we're excited to announce that following several months of replatforming and editing, we have released the **new openEHR website**. I would like to acknowledge the incredible work of @Pete_Bouvier in doing the vast majority of the content migration, styling, and reworked navigation, transforming and upgrading the look and feel of the site. The CIC Board made the decision to replatform the site and approved the new site before launch. As always it is at https://openehr.org (or https://www.openehr.org if you prefer) for you to view. https://openehr.org ![image|588x500](upload://b74k1dbMSbtRjzyRTVlWrWEliJl.jpeg) ## New features of the site We've worked to make the site easy to navigate and simpler than the old site. We aimed to reduce duplication of content where that content can be more easily interacted with at the [Specifications](https://specifications.openehr.org/) site or on the [Forum](https://discourse.openehr.org/). ### Dynamic deployments table We've created a dynamic, sortable, searchable worldwide deployments table https://openehr.org/who-what-where/ ![image|690x368](upload://dSSNEZznqERdCK4evivOwEwiNrI.png) It even includes a world map of deployments: ![image|690x486](upload://97mvL0fDr9K6V8trzkA8cdesYE7.png) ### Events Calendar There's a beautiful new openEHR events calendar which is searchable too: ![image|690x358](upload://8702QPyYWx4vJcC1fDokDnfM7vJ.png) ### Overall look and feel We've updated the main website to be more visually appealing and align with openEHR brand visuals. We know this might not appeal to everyone and we're welcoming of constructive feedback that can help us further improve the site. Details on how to feed back are in the FAQ below. ### Simplified navigation We've removed some of the duplicative or complex elements of the navigation to make the overall site less complex. We're thinking that seasoned openEHR community members will already have open in tabs or bookmarked the most commonly used tools and resources. Again, if you have constructive feedback that can help us further improve the site, wee the FAQ for how to feed back. ## FAQ ### How can I feed back about the new website? You can reply to this thread, or you can private message us (@marcusbaw and @Pete_Bouvier) or email us on admin@openehr.org. Please keep all feedback constructive. ### Why did we replatform? The main reasons for the replatform were around the maintenance of the site, in order to make this easier for non-technical team members we have moved to Wordpress for the website, which replaced a more technical Django website that required significant Django expertise to edit and update, and was also in need of both an application code upgrade and a server OS upgrade.. ### What happened to the old site? The old site's content has been preserved as a [static HTML site here](https://django-legacy-site.openehr.org/), and is also extensively [archived on the Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/web/20250122140123/https://www.openehr.org/). Code for the old site is [on GitHub in a private repository here](https://github.com/openEHR/openehr.org-django-website-archive). If you find content that we've forgotten to move to the new site then it will help us if you can identify the old page here so we can see what is missing. ### I can't find something that used to be on the old website - what do I do? Some of the content was 'retired' owing to the ever-larger quantity of information that was being held on the old website. We attempted to streamline and optimise the website for newer users looking for basic information about openEHR technology. If you feel something has been removed that shouldn't have been, then we are happy to review this if you comment on this thread, private message us (@marcusbaw and @Pete_Bouvier) or email us on admin@openehr.org. ### Can you set up redirects for broken links? Yes, we can set up `301 Moved Permanently`redirects for links which are broken. We are monitoring the new site's traffic for commonly visited URLs which are returning `404 Not Found` and we are putting in redirects for these. If you have found a broken link and let us know we will fix it. ### I am a Wordpress and CSS ninja and I want to help! openEHR International is a small organisation punching well above its weight internationally and we've done this replatform with a small non-Wordpress-expert team and a tiny budget (and in fact have reduced overall server costs in doing the change!) so there are a couple of details in the theming which we would like to tweak and improve. If this is something you would like to help with, let us know! ----- ### Acknowledgements We would like to thank @Pete_Bouvier again for the huge amount of work put in to rebuild the site. Importantly I'd also like to thank @thomas.beale and @Adriana (Danilovka) for their years of work on the previous openEHR website. --- ## Post #2 by @jake.smolka Thanks a bunch for all the hard work. Will look into it in detail over the next days. One thing just catching my attention: My bio in the SEC section says I'm a product manager at DIPS. While I sometimes daydream about living in Norway (and working at DIPS?), this is not correct in reality. Where can I send an up-to-date bio to? --- ## Post #3 by @Pete_Bouvier Hi Jake - send me a DM with your bio and I'll get it updated. P --- ## Post #4 by @mouse15 Hi I am unsure if this email goes to everybody, but I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Harish—a designer from Malaysia. I came across this group as I was looking for a digital health project. I would like to get involved with the Wordpress part. --- ## Post #5 by @JandeLange Congratulations on this great new website Pete and his team! Clear and a pleasure to read. A professional look and feel that fits the new image of openEHR International. Leading the way to transform healthcare together! Well done!!! --- ## Post #6 by @marcusbaw [quote="mouse15, post:4, topic:6269"] I would like to get involved with the Wordpress part. [/quote] Hi @mouse15 let's talk via PM about this possibility. I'll PM you in Discourse. --- ## Post #7 by @marcusbaw [quote="JandeLange, post:5, topic:6269"] Clear and a pleasure to read. A professional look and feel that fits the new image of openEHR International. [/quote] Thanks @JandeLange and I'll raise a glass to Pete for the work that's been done here! --- ## Post #8 by @George Congrats on the new website! A minor nitpick, but those PNG files on the home page weigh over 1.1MB each. --- ## Post #9 by @Pete_Bouvier Ah yes. Thanks George. That carousel was originally much smaller. I'll give them a squeeze! P --- ## Post #10 by @uwittwer Hi On a mobile phone the menu can‘t be administered. There is this membership banner in front of it. And when you close the banner the arrow is in front of it. Best, Urs Wittwer --- ## Post #11 by @Pete_Bouvier Thanks Urs. Should be fixed now. P --- ## Post #12 by @Kanthan_Theivendran This is brilliant. Please could we add openOutcomes on the list of active deployment in the U.K. with the custodian being The Apperta Foundation. outcomes.apperta.org --- ## Post #13 by @Pete_Bouvier Absolutely. I'll get it up this morning. P --- ## Post #14 by @openEHRUKadmin Looking good @Pete_Bouvier :slight_smile: --- ## Post #15 by @erik.sundvall Some questions regarding [https://openehr.org/applications/](https://openehr.org/applications/) - General: there are no links for the products themselves, only the logo of the company above each list of products is (sometimes) clickable - Is tha Afya site linked (circled in red below) serious or a scam ? The page looks AI generated and mostly has a lot of latin placehoder text - The company logo above "Configurable platform" (encircled in purple below) is not clickable and there is no info available about company name etc - I beleive one of Betters products is called "Better Meds" not "Better Med" - The link to Medicalchain seems to be dead now - Nedap do you want your link to point to Nedaps main site or to https://nedap.com/healthcare/ ? - OpusVL, it is very hard to find the product "Care Protect" from the linked github page - Tietoevry do you want your link to point to your main site or something about health or the listed product? This was just from looking at one page. There is obviously a lot of proofreading and link-testing left to do. I would advice all actors with openEHR interests to double check their own info and findability... ![image|380x500](upload://re4YbhmsF49PeH57SrBH3X7SlVi.png) --- ## Post #16 by @Pete_Bouvier Thanks Erik. Virtually all of this information was migrated from the old applications page here - https://django-legacy-site.openehr.org/products_tools/applications/index.html but I'm happy to add more links to specific products or companies. --- ## Post #17 by @Olly_Cogan Hi, Great to see the OpenEHR.org site get an update. I was going to also say the applications page feels to me where the most further improvement could be made. I would suggest: 1. Tiles/cards for each app, these can be easily stacked so work easily on any screen width including mobile. 2. The tiles/cards better/more quickly demonstrate this is a list of apps and provide the perfect format to include links and additional info. 3. I'm sure the app providers would be happy to share thumbnails of the app in desktop or mobile view or both. This would make these feel like tangible apps and give a really quick/good sense of the growing apps that exist on OpenEHR. The applications page is one of the first pages I checked when I wanted to be reassured that modern UX/UI apps existed on OpenEHR. I actually messaged Kanthan about a month ago to say was there not more apps and they could be better displayed. Any prospective vendor/innovator evaluating OpenEHR wants to that reassurance there's successful/good apps built on it. 4. Why not add categories/tags, I have a list of categories for apps/services in healthcare for something we worked on, if you'd like I can send that through, it's not perfect, but it helps to have this. 5. A search bar and/or some filters/flags t.filter by category/type of app and region. 6. Publisher is too prominent IMHO, the app name/thumbnail should be what people view primarily. Publisher/Developer should be in a corner of the card (also filterable). We've actually got some designs for this sort of thing we've done before if you'd like I could dog it out and give it a small tweak and share with you Pete, happy to! I think this applications page needs to really sell OpenEHR, so happy to spend it a bit of time on it from a design PoV and help if you're open to it Pete, subject to members / community then being happy to sign off a fine tuned version, of course! Olly --- ## Post #18 by @matijap * I beleive one of Betters products is called “Better Meds” not “Better Med” => true :slight_smile: Best regards, Matija from Better :slight_smile: --- ## Post #19 by @pablo Hi, just about the looks and not really the content, I find the text hard to read, I'm not sure if it's the chosen fonts, the size or spacing. Also the blue gradient on the right looks out of place. The other thing is the stock photos: 80% is Asian people and I think our community is more diverse. Also our community age range is wider. It would be nice to have those aspects represented in the website. Hope that helps. Best, Pablo. --- ## Post #20 by @siljelb I agree with you that diversity in stock photo use should be a goal. But maybe the stock photos give the impression of more diversity than is the reality.. If my counting and assumptions about gender and ethnic origin are correct (if they're not I apologise), these are some basic stats about the people in boards and expert groups with their photos on the page. Unfortunately not super diverse based just on these two more or less visible parameters. ![image|690x203](upload://5R2IzEoCjQTwsXarbZntFMOfaFV.png) --- ## Post #21 by @Pete_Bouvier That's really interesting, Olly - thanks for the comments. I was trying to stick closely to the format of the equivalent pages from the old website, but you're right: we could make a lot more of the applications, rather than focus on the vendors/ developers themselves. Got to give some thought to how best to display that info.... I like the idea of the tiles definitely, but I don't want as many categories as there are apps.... please do send over what you've got. Also, how do we incorporate the other tools and products? Platforms, libraries etc... :thinking: The update is definitely a still work in progress, so I'm very much open to ideas like this. Drop me a DM and we'll have a chat. P --- ## Post #22 by @pablo I don't think we need to show exact proportions in terms of ethnicity, but the Asian photos were prominent in the new site, and most were also together. That is where I think showing more diversity might be better. Also the age range in the photos is pretty narrow. I think we have people from 20+ to 60+ (and maybe more) in our community, so why not showing that in the photos? Either way, I don't personally like stock photos because it's pretty obvious those are models and note real doctors, nurses, students or informaticians in the openEHR world. --- ## Post #23 by @thomas.beale In the old site, the underling data was all entered (or at least enterable) by the vendors themselves - do we have this capability with the new site? In previous sites (i.e. before django) I used to try to keep it up to date. Nearly impossible! --- ## Post #24 by @thomas.beale [quote="siljelb, post:20, topic:6269"] I agree with you that diversity in stock photo use should be a goal. But maybe the stock photos give the impression of more diversity than is the reality [/quote] Well, the community is as 'diverse' as the societies from which it comes, and the subgroups in those societies who are in medicine, standards, HIT etc. Diversity is an output variable, not an input - I don't think we should care about it, since it's not for anyone to control (other than potentially growing the community say further eastward, or Africa, which would be nice of course - already quite a footprint in India!). I do think the website should reflect (roughly) the community that exists in reality, ideally with photos of real people, not stock photos. A narrow set of ages / sex/ ethnic group does tend to make a visitor imagine that the organisation is specific to some geography or social group that is not the case. My first impression was Asian gamers ;) I don't really care about diversity of innate qualities (i.e. everything is fine) - diversity of professions, clinicians, stakeholder types is more interesting to represent. --- ## Post #25 by @birger.haarbrandt First, congratulations on the new website. I think it really emphasizes the openEHR colors and the brand! Overall, it looks fresh and modern. At the same time, I agree with Pablo that it's a bit too many stock photos. Maybe the carousel can be put more prominently and you can ensure there is always some nice photos from real people, e.g. from events like in Reading or Berlin. Also a minor comment: "Join the Club" sounds a bit too informal to me as especially newbies can get even more confused what openEHR is about. Another thing: the margin between the menu and the first section appears to be a bit too large, but this could also be just my subjective opinion and the transition could be smoother (see the blue stripe on the right, looks like a hard break when it reaches the section) ![image|690x224](upload://jCnRPHWFVHvE11JxbelUl3oas1a.jpeg) --- ## Post #26 by @linforest The page for [Archetype Designer](https://openehr.org/archetypedesigner) is not available: >The page you are looking for does not exist, or it has been moved. Please try searching using the form below. --- ## Post #27 by @linforest On my Android phone, the menu in the top right corner doesn't seem to work when tapped (FireFox browser v115.2.1). In other words, the menu doesn't show up at all when tapped on the ToC button. ![20250206110206|690x336](upload://oJoZQHFinPj1FUepGk7lC7CA2Uo.jpeg) While on my PC desktop (win10+Chrome), when resizing the browser window to my phone screen ratio, the menu is ok (it can be displayed normally). ![image|534x500](upload://J4GZwU6Vk5tJCIAKPUzV5H3EKO.png) --- ## Post #28 by @Pete_Bouvier Thanks Forest. I've fixed the link and I'll check out the menu - I'm on Android myself and haven't noticed a problem, but I'll see what can be done. P --- ## Post #29 by @linforest FYI, exactly, the OS is [Xiaomi HyperOS](https://www.mi.com/us/hyperos). And the [Archetype Designer - Online page](https://tools.openehr.org/designer/#/) is up now. Thanks, @Pete_Bouvier --- ## Post #30 by @Pete_Bouvier Thanks for the feedback, Birger. I'm glad you like the new design. I'll make a few changes this morning: you're right about 'Join the club' - too exclusive perhaps - and I'll see if I can fix the gap. As for the stock images, it would be good to replace them with some quality photos of real openEHR people - something I'll look into! P --- ## Post #31 by @siljelb [quote="pablo, post:22, topic:6269"] Either way, I don’t personally like stock photos because it’s pretty obvious those are models and note real doctors, nurses, students or informaticians in the openEHR world. [/quote] [quote="thomas.beale, post:24, topic:6269"] ideally with photos of real people, not stock photos. [/quote] We can definitely agree on this! [quote="thomas.beale, post:24, topic:6269"] Diversity is an output variable, not an input [/quote] In most cases it's a combination. Homogeneity in any community tends to be self-reinforcing, for this reason amongst others: [quote="thomas.beale, post:24, topic:6269"] A narrow set of ages / sex/ ethnic group does tend to make a visitor imagine that the organisation is specific to some geography or social group [/quote] [quote="thomas.beale, post:24, topic:6269"] I don’t really care about diversity of innate qualities (i.e. everything is fine) - diversity of professions, clinicians, stakeholder types is more interesting to represent. [/quote] IMO both are important. There are heaps of examples that tech developed by homogeneous groups, whether regarding innate qualities or otherwise, unintentionally introduce bias which makes it unusable or even dangerous for people outside the developer demographic. --- ## Post #32 by @linforest Clip arts other than photos? --- ## Post #33 by @thomas.beale [quote="siljelb, post:31, topic:6269"] There are heaps of examples that tech developed by homogeneous groups, whether regarding innate qualities or otherwise, unintentionally introduce bias which makes it unusable or even dangerous for people outside the developer demographic [/quote] Certainly true. That's always a failure of requirements and scope understanding. But plenty of counter-examples as well. We always need to think / travel outside our own boxes to do the best work. --- ## Post #34 by @erik.sundvall [quote="Pete_Bouvier, post:30, topic:6269"] As for the stock images, it would be good to replace them with some quality photos of real openEHR people - something I’ll look into! [/quote] HiGHmed has had a professional photographers at some events so that may be one source. Screenshots from youtube videos by Sidhart and others are also a nice source. For example 5:40 -7:05 in: https://youtu.be/ShCzrHlzmHo where Dr. Ramesh & Dr. Poornachandra talk about big EHR systems ![image|302x242](upload://wqL9SFSZjY0r56BAdR5GSBLOpob.jpeg) . --- ## Post #35 by @mouse15 how about sourcing images from actual users, so its free PR of the users as well as satisfying the requirement of new images? I mean, the users can volunteer and probably approach the ones who have adopted the system for a period of time --- ## Post #36 by @Olly_Cogan Glad you said that Pete, as was going to say the same, should do away with all stock images of humans, very 2007 ! :) --- ## Post #37 by @thomas.beale To be fair to @Pete_Bouvier (and speaking as the one who created or managed all prior versions of the website) , stock images is usually where you have to start. In the early days, the only way I had to avoid them was to use 'interesting' but completely non-health images, e.g. the flying birds that some here will remember. So anyone who can supply royalty-free 'real' images of people and places (maybe something from Karolinska, or some of Sidharth's work locations?) - you need to step up and actually provide something! --- ## Post #38 by @mouse15 Can you some description of what you're looking for? I might be able to check it out --- ## Post #39 by @Olly_Cogan Totally appreciate what you're saying, and good to meet you Thomas. So many generic photos of doctors and patients in healthcare / health tech websites for the very reason you state. Like Erik said, there's lots of event photos that could be used and stills from youtube videos etc. But happy users would be icing on the cake! :) --- ## Post #40 by @siljelb @Pete_Bouvier Right now it looks to me like the site is entirely down? (502 error) --- ## Post #41 by @Pete_Bouvier Yes, I've let @marcusbaw know... --- ## Post #42 by @varntzen All the stock people have taken it down in protest of you guys don't like them. --- ## Post #43 by @marcusbaw Apologies for that outage, it's back up now. Will investigate the cause. --- ## Post #44 by @mouse15 Hi, I sent you a PM, did you receive it? --- ## Post #45 by @marcusbaw Yes, I did. I'm somewhat busy @mouse15 --- ## Post #46 by @marcusbaw I will rescale the website server during quieter hours of traffic to increase its RAM and vCPU count. I think this will improve the reliability. We did the original server setup on a shoestring but that was when it was experimental and only for the Conference website. This week's additional traffic probably means it needs a little more power. --- ## Post #47 by @Olly_Cogan I had noticed before that the first home page image loads slowly Marcus, so I would say it definitely needs a bit more compute. Not sure how all this works financially, but I am about to subscribe for a professional membership, so this might buy us a few more megabytes at least, every penny counts! :) --- ## Post #48 by @marcusbaw Congratulations on joining as a member @Olly_Cogan! The cost of the upgraded server is not an issue, we actually saved quite a bit of money decommissioning the old website server which was a bare metal dedicated server, and now we are on a VPS it's very easy to upgrade to something more powerful, just a few clicks and a few more €. --- ## Post #49 by @vanessap Hi! Just to report a not found page - I was reading the section for the affiliates in the new website (https://openehr.org/affiliates/), which has a link to this document https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QZNk2kPmk6ZR6J7XtJdSKvbQL75PegQ6/view?usp=sharing, where this document refers this page https://openehr.org/governance/code_of_conduct , which seems to not exist in the new website structure. --- ## Post #50 by @Pete_Bouvier Got it - thanks Vanessa. P --- ## Post #51 by @linforest @Pete_Bouvier The bitmaps on the homepage significantly affect the loading speed of the page; And some images failed to load successfully. Therefore, it is hoped that this could be optimized. ![image|690x329](upload://tUyyHoG34Pmu9pHqhfId0bzHufN.png) ![image|689x93](upload://tmyAstnFW3uXunyXRUbLfb5yJr9.png) ![image|689x233](upload://2LUMMcchROGZKxmGK6IedKiBmr6.png) --- ## Post #52 by @Pete_Bouvier Thanks Forest. We'll look into it. --- ## Post #53 by @vanessap Hi! found a typo at https://openehr.org/libraries/, an extra "ç" , at the end of the description - here: ![image|458x499](upload://eZmNozmyNLxrGcg0YYC4gOLzi2f.png) --- ## Post #54 by @Pete_Bouvier Good spot. Fixed!ç --- ## Post #55 by @joostholslag I can no longer locate the list of national CKMs. Any tips? And could the site map be extended to make it easier to see all the subpages, so I don’t have to visit them all to conclude something’s not there. --- ## Post #56 by @Pete_Bouvier Hi Joost - just added them here - https://openehr.org/clinical-program-board/ I'll have a look at the sitemap. --- ## Post #57 by @joostholslag References to papers hosted on the openEHR website have been broken. E.g. the ones at the bottom of https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/AM/development/AOM2.html#_references --- ## Post #58 by @Pete_Bouvier Thanks Joost - I'll get on it today. --- ## Post #59 by @joostholslag The mail list archive also seems unreachable. E.g. the links at the bottom of this page. https://openehr.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/spec/pages/4915237/A-path+-+Archetype+Path+Language Maybe from a governance perspective we should make more guarantees on key openEHR resource. @ukpenguin to prevent accidentally losing these and similar artefacts. Like an archiving strategy. Edit similar issue with the SVN link on: https://openehr.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/spec/pages/4915236/A-path+proposal+Zilics --- ## Post #60 by @ukpenguin Thanks Joost - @marcusbaw and @Pete_Bouvier are dealing with linking any information needed as all information is archived. I don't think they had been aware of this being linked. @marcus I think we need to restore or redirect the mailarchive directory under the website. The link is as follows :-1: openehr.org/mailarchives/ Content under this directory seems to be linked multiple times in Confluence. Thanks Rachel --- ## Post #61 by @marcusbaw Hi @joostholslag and sorry the mailarchive is not findable any more. I will look into where there could be a backup and see if it can be restored. It was running on the Sava 'God' server, which was doing a lot of things including the mailarchive. I will see what we have backups of and whether a restore can be done. I take full responsibility for this failure if the mailarchive can't be restored. Apologies. The mailarchive was something that was already deprecated before I started working for openEHR and I've never been involved with its running. In general such mailing lists can be [imported into Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrate-a-mailing-list-to-discourse-mbox-listserv-google-groups-etc/79773), but I don't think this was ever done. I'm very happy to work on an archiving strategy. My view would be to **keep everything always**, as long as it is still in a usable form, for example mailing lists, Slack and other similar messaging/forum/discussion archives should be kept running or imported into something that is still running eg. Discourse. --- ## Post #62 by @Olly_Cogan There's a python Slack dump that thingy that is handy to archive Slack messages behond the free Slack limits. If anyone is interested, I can share details. --- ## Post #63 by @marcusbaw Thanks @Olly_Cogan - I think in the end, the owners of the openEHR Clinical Slack decided to completely deprecate it instead. I don't think we extracted any content. --- ## Post #64 by @Olly_Cogan No problem, we moved away from Slack. The paid version was an additional overhead we coudl do without. I gambled that Google Chat would receive more iterative development (as was very basic at the time) and thankfully it has, is now very decent. So we have everything covered under our Google Workspace licensing, helped to avoid multiple SaaS lock-ins! As much of an appreciator I was of Slack in terms of UX, Google Chat is now quite adequate with added advantage that puts everything in one place for us, less admin, and everything just flows / plugs together across Google Workspace apps. Besides, Slack lost all its appeal for me when Salesforce bought it! :slight_smile: --- ## Post #65 by @linforest Google is unavailable here (cn). --- ## Post #67 by @Seref Tom I and migrated the whole mail archive (I think almost all the way from early 2000s) to a pretty good mail service at some point after 2010s Then we took a backup of it before migration to discourse. I'll check if I have any emails with attachments etc. There is some great discussions in that archive. It would be good to make it available if we can. --- ## Post #68 by @Seref @thomas.beale you sent an email with the subject "[openEHR SEC] THIS LIST CLOSING SOON - MOVING TO DISCOURSE" to sec@lists.openehr.org on 13/03/2020 16:18 from your arssemantica account. You said in that email: "I will obtain the complete archives of the SEC mailing list before it closes." I think you ran the communications with Brian Carpenter from emwd.(c)om at the time of migration. Just in case it help track down the archive files. --- ## Post #69 by @thomas.beale [quote="Seref, post:68, topic:6269"] You said in that email: “I will obtain the complete archives of the SEC mailing list before it closes.” I think you ran the communications with Brian Carpenter from emwd.(c)om at the time of migration. [/quote] I'll have to check on another computer where those files are, but I did get them. We previously had everything from the original lists (that ran at UCL) on [a web archive site](http://mail-archive.com). Links as follows. https://www.mail-archive.com/openehr-technical@lists.openehr.org/maillist.html https://www.mail-archive.com/openehr-clinical@lists.openehr.org/maillist.html https://www.mail-archive.com/openehr-announce@lists.openehr.org/maillist.html --- ## Post #70 by @thomas.beale @Pete_Bouvier , one page I cannot locate on the new website is the 'what is openEHR' page, which is the basic explanation of everything. The [original is here](https://django-legacy-site.openehr.org/about/what_is_openehr.html). Another feature I can't find is search - we used to have google search running on the Django site. This is probably on the TODO list I imagine. --- ## Post #71 by @joostholslag Such fun to read back the earlier messages. And so hopeful that we’ve made so much progress since then. --- ## Post #72 by @joostholslag Would be great to import the mailing lists Tom linked. Anything I can do to achieve that? --- ## Post #73 by @thomas.beale [quote="joostholslag, post:72, topic:6269"] Would be great to import the mailing lists Tom linked [/quote] We did talk about it with Marcus when we first went to Discourse, but decided it was not worth it, in the sense that it wouldn't add much to the capability of mail-archive.com. What might make sense is that for interesting discussions / posts that are visible in those archives, interested parties might manually transfer the useful parts to this platform - perhaps in a special sub-category under the main categories we have. --- ## Post #74 by @marcusbaw If there is appetite for importing the old posts I could revisit the idea. Importing `.mbox` files of archived mail content is fairly robust now in Discourse, 10+ years into the project. It would be nice to have everything in one place. --- ## Post #75 by @Pete_Bouvier Hi Thomas. There's a blog post [here](https://openehr.org/what-is-openehr/) linked from the home page which covers the basics, without going into the technical aspects of the standard. Search bar - yep, it's on the list. P --- ## Post #76 by @Koray_Atalag Hi @Pete_Bouvier I recall previous comments about rather large random people's faces on the home page. I personally like the use of text and visuals on web pages (and probably any other print or digital material) but I'd prefer not to have random real smiling faces highlighting full snow white dentures! Maybe gender/race etc. neutral avatars or other non-person visuals relevant to the topic (e.g. developers may have some form of technical imagery and clinicians - well something clinical...and images with much less kilobytes. All the rest looks awesome and thanks for all the hard work that went into putting a fresh and modern look :clap: --- ## Post #77 by @marcusbaw [quote="joostholslag, post:57, topic:6269, full:true"] References to papers hosted on the openEHR website have been broken. E.g. the ones at the bottom of [Archetype Object Model 2 (AOM2)](https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/AM/development/AOM2.html#_references) [/quote] **FIXED**: These links have been fixed by setting up static files served at exactly the URL the Specifications page is expecting. We can use this pattern to fix any missing assets of any kind. It is sadly a bit of a manual process, but after this point they will just work. All these little exceptions or static files are being version controlled in the website config GitHub repo, which means any future move of website will bring them with us automatically. --- ## Post #78 by @ian.mcnicoll Broken link https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/1.0.2/architecture/requirements/iso18308_conformance.pdf This is quite a useful historical document esp as ISO18308 is being reviewed, I understand. --- ## Post #79 by @marcusbaw Looks to me like that is a 404 on the Specifications website? Is this openehr.org or specifications.openehr.org that needs updating @ian.mcnicoll ? --- ## Post #80 by @ian.mcnicoll Ah - good point - I'll raise with SEC --- ## Post #81 by @thomas.beale That would have been redirected to a copy out of a clone of the Git repo 'specifications'. on the specifications.openehr.org server. The original ISO 18308 doc is [here in that repo](https://github.com/openEHR/specifications/tree/master/publishing/requirements), along with all the other RM 1.0.2 and AM docs from 2008. There used to be a page on the specifications site that was for 'historical releases', but it seems to have disappeared. I'd like to see it back, because it really shows the evolution of how we were doing specs (as well as the content) over a 20y period. --- ## Post #82 by @Pete_Bouvier Hi all, Remember these shiny happy people? ![Screenshot Capture - 2025-09-18 - 10-40-33|690x280](upload://h8ddDX0lMFP4x5f4keYtu2D27TC.jpeg) Well, with your cooperation we can oust them from the home-page and replace them with real members of the openEHR community at EHRCON25. Obviously it would be good - but not essential - if we could fill all the categories: researcher, clinician, provider, etc etc. So, if you’d like to appear on the website, drop me a DM and we’ll organise a photoshoot of sorts in Barcelona. --- ## Post #83 by @linforest I personally suggest optimizing such images to significantly reduce their size, thereby improving the page loading speed. --- ## Post #84 by @marcusbaw [quote="linforest, post:83, topic:6269"] optimizing such images to significantly reduce their size, thereby improving the page loading speed. [/quote] Thanks @linforest yes we will aim to reduce the file sizes of the images we use. --- ## Post #85 by @Kanthan_Theivendran Hi Pete, unfortunately I’m unable to attend this year. Shall I send a stock photo of myself? --- ## Post #86 by @Pete_Bouvier That’s a real shame, Kanthan, but yes please - it would be great to have you on the homepage.
