2006-01-26 Developers Conference Call

<html><head><title></title></head><body>attendees: Darius, Christian, Justin, Paul, Ben, Burke

Overview of past week from PIH
- Looking at notes/alerts/messaging/etc and have a plan for modeling
- Darius working with reporting code
Alerts and notifications
- Separate message and alerts
- Alerts as "user-flagged errors" and notes similar
- Notes service
  - Notes attached to objects (observation/patient/etc)
  - Some notes will need action/confirmation (ala "Alerts") and other won't
  - note_recipient table to track delivery/actions/etc
  - ?note_type to provide templates, possible actions, etc.
- Message service
  - for unconfirmed messages (internal or external)
  - API will basically be a "sendMessage(who, subject, message)" function
  - user_properties will specify the e-mail address, pager #, etc. for each possible message "medium"
    - keys for user_properties will need to be formalized similar to the Java way of doing them — e.g., "org.openmrs.api.MessageService.openmrsEmailAddress"
    - keys should be placed on the User Properties wiki page
Paul talked about order modeling
