Do we have a GitHub for this site?

wondering if we should add some of the documents that are shared in the threads.

Possibly add the ability to create documentation, I’ve used something called a fhir implementation guide which allows documentation to be created using markdown and plantuml. It’s quite easy to setup.

Don’t mind setting this up and helping maintain it.

Sounds like a great idea @mayfield.g.kev - I think many moons ago I did have a GH org for OHH, but it ended up not really having anything terribly useful in it. I don't think I was able to get `openhealthhub` because it's already taken https://github.com/openhealthhub.

We could certainly start with a docs site in one of our own orgs/personal account? The FHIR Docs/Implementation guide sounds like a plan.

[Maybe in view of Open Health Hub being a different thing (Dutch company) we shoudl consider changing the name of this site?]

is the Docs plugin an option? https://www.discourse.org/plugins/doc-categories
avoid the need to rename the forum
edit: I thought you were worried github/open health hub was too close - I didn't realise there is now a dutch company with the same name.

Maybe consider hosting at Codeberg - https://codeberg.org/

Very happy to enable the Discourse Docs Categories plugin - I use it on several other Discourse instances. However for what Kev's suggesting I think docs within Discourse aren't the best solution. He wants a Git-tracked static site repo I think, and I agree this is probably the right way if there is a FHIR Implementation Guide static site generator.

I haven't used Codeberg, but they seem good! As long as the artifacts we're storing are just files in a Git repo without dependencies to GitHub features, then it's relatively simple to move a repo from one Git hosting site to another.

Created organisation and repo

I’m using the HL7 publisher to render (I’m mostly using the jekyll and markdown parts at present).

So either the markdown page can be viewed e.g. https://github.com/openhealthhub-org/openhealthhub-org.github.com/blob/master/input/pagecontent/volume-2.md or rendered page https://openhealthhub-org.github.io/volume-2.html

It’s not clean or pretty at present, just a brain dump of things I use frequently.

https://github.com/openhealthhub-org/openhealthhub-org.github.com/blob/master/input/pagecontent/volume-2.md

## Post #9 by @mayfield.g.kev

p.s. volume 1 is missing on purpose…… I’ve not found a good source linking pathways → process → tech

Some of the newer international IHE profiles and HL7 implementation guides are quite good around this but the core/foundation domains/frameworks I’ve used here are a bit verbose.
