Hello everyone, I am a technical writer and a GSoD 2020 applicant. I am trying to explore if it is worthwhile having a centralized getting started documentation specifically for new developers who have no OpenMRS experience. The goals are to provide a guide for new comers to
- have a general idea what openmrs is and what are the major components
- set up the environment (linux and windows)
- set up openmrs core and essential modules (such as REST API, UI etc), SDK
- produce hello world type of results (I am stuck at this step myself)
- link to other useful resources for beginners
Thank you all for providing some insight into the pain points and possible solutions for new comers.
I will be writing up my project proposal based on your discussions and my own ideas in the coming week and will post it here to gather your feedback. Meanwhile, if you have more ideas about how to make the life of the new comers easier, I’d be happy to include in my project proposal.
Thanks again!
