    • Dawn: Working with Ed on places to start: bins to categorize topics
    • Paul: We need to get organized before we invest in hiring a technical writer for documentation
    • Hamish: Perhaps we have someone to at least coordinate this and get it started
    • Paul: Create names for different types of documentation and put effort into fleshing out phases of this
    • Burke: Where's the technical guide, users guide, implementation guide
      • Outcomes: Look at what tools we can use, how to improve documentation, sustainable documentation, etc.
    • TODO:
      • Burke send Ed a link to the RI wiki to take a look at the documentation model for suggestions on how to get started with OpenMRS documentation
  • Funding
    • Paul: We look at a model where people are seconded into OpenMRS
    • Paul: There are ways to generate sustainable income for the NGO to hire full-time developers and ppl like dawn and Michael
      • We need to be strategic about the type of jobs we go after and the trainings we provide
