Purpose
The purpose of the project is to provide an open source “software platform and...reference application” that allows people with no prior programming experience to create and maintain medical records.People
There isn’t any information about how many people are working on the project readily available on the OpenMRS site, but the GitHub repository shows 195 contributors.Activity
The project was most active from 2011 to 2013, but it is still fairly active, currently averaging about one commit per day.Where to Start
The first thing I would do in order to start helping would be to review the wiki to more closely familiarize myself with some aspects of the project, while looking for typographical errors in hopes of making some early contribution.Useful Documentation
The wiki has a collection of how-to articles, as well as other collections of reference materials.Issue Tracking
The OpenMRS website has an “Issues” tab on its horizontal menu that has all raised issues and possible bugs. There are a lot of items in the list of issues raised, where some are being worked on, some have been worked on and are waiting to be re-assessed and tested. There is also detailed information about every issue raised, what kind of issue it is and it’s priority.Download & Installation
Downloading the product would take about 8 minutes or more depending on your internet connection, and the installation may also take about 7 minutes. Which makes it a total of 15 minutes, but it could be more depending on the internet connection and may be other factors that can hinder or slow any installation on a particular machine.Communication
OpenMRS wiki has a Developer’s guide under which there is Developer Meeting. Developers meet periodically to discuss technical issues or any technical aspects around OpenMRS.-Craig Warner
