Inspired by the ThoughtWorks Technology Radar, we have created our own OpenMRS Technology Radar. Our first release was in October 2016. (Thanks to Mike Seaton for suggesting we do this!)
This is an opinionated recommendation from some OpenMRSers who have been involved in many projects over the years, about what technologies you should be using, or avoiding, when building your OpenMRS implementations and distributions.

Our Tech Radar is an opinionated recommendation from some OpenMRSers who have been involved in many projects over the years, about what technologies you should be using, or avoiding, when building your OpenMRS implementations and distributions.
The metaphor is a "radar" showing information about technologies, and how close they are to being recommended for adoption. (We took inspiration from the thinking behind ThoughtWorks's radar.)
We organized technologies into four quadrants:
Then we made a recommendation about each technology:
The October 2016 Radar was done by Pascal Brandt, Darius Jazayeri, Daniel Kayiwa, Wyclif Luyima, Burke Mamlin, and Mike Seaton. It was discussed off-and-on over the course of 6 months, mostly on Design Forums.

We plan to review the radar quarterly, and we are looking for /dev/3s and above to be part of the team. If you have (a) opinions about technology and a desire to voice them, (b) experience on OpenMRS projects, and (c) a willingness to commit a few hours every quarter, then contact Darius Jazayeri, Burke Mamlin, or any of the other Tech Radar team members by private message on OpenMRS Talk and ask to join the team.
