Hi, First of all, glad to see Bob taking this forward, it really needs a firm push to get beyond the typical meeting discussions we've had so many of over the last 1-2 years. When it comes to forum for cross-project collaboration I would like to recommend the recently launched TGHIN.org platform. This would fit well with the intentions behind that site. TGHIN already has a large user community from different projects and country implementations, which could benefit discussions and provide a broader view on things. TGHIN is built on Drupal and we can influence functionality there if more modules are needed. For now there is a forum site where we can post and log discussions. Mail notification is also in place. A chat module is soon released which can help communication as well. If we need a new mailing list we can of course set up another google group or similar. I already mentioned in Goa that I will invest some of my time time on this collaboration and similar collaborations among FOSS communities involved with HIS. I will help to document ongoing activities among the major HIS FOSS projects such as HISP, OpenMRS and Capacity project (iHRIS), and help to identify possible collaboration projects. I think the Cape Town meeting will be an important start and provide the necessary push for DHIS and OpenMRS collaboration. I'll be more active on email when I get back from leave in about 10 days.
