I have an idea to implement a Help Section Open Web App for OpenMRS Reference application. Currently, Reference application doesn’t haven’t any much help section for the users who are using this one. Can we move to implement a Open Web App with following aspects,
Common help information about the Reference application.
Quick FAQ section for OpenMRS Reference application
Module wise help sections. This section will give some basic information about each module, and how can the user interact with those modules. (We can fetch the related module help information from a common endpoint to show the respected user)
Help section for reference application features and How can a user interact with those features properly.
There might be some more ideas which can be included into this OWA.
What do you think about this idea for OpenMRS reference application ?
One approach could be to just add some links from the refapp to the wiki (though dealing with versioning would be tricky).
Another approach would be to propose moving all our refapp documentation to a code repository, which can then be compiled for use in the refapp, and also for posting on the web.
Information related to other modules. This OWA will automatically detect the installed modules(or AddOns) and fetch the required help information from the help config file(Help Config file will be located in the code repository). So there is no more unwanted help information in this OWA for the users while they using in a reference application.
i.e - Operation Theater Module - https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Operation+Theater+Module
