FOSSEng Episode Something: A New Hope

It's alive.

Unlike everything else I have worked on so far in this course, getting everything set up to work has been very simple. Austin created a new plugin through Atom, which is beautifully simple, and put it in a repository on GitHub. Wonderful.

One of the major struggles that OpenMRS presented to us was installation. Installation. We couldn't even get the thing running to begin with for quite a while, and when we did we realized that we were using the wrong version of the system to do the work we intended to do.

Atom, on the other hand, is a breeze. It is a wonderful piece of software, and we are all happy to be taking our first steps in our work with the Transterpreter in something so nice to work with.

Moving Forward

At first we thought that the plugin would be very simple. We came to realize, however, that the Transterpreter is a bit more complicated than we thought. This should be alright though, as Dr. Jadud has been heavily involved in its development and will hopefully be able to provide us with some assistance.

We'll see how it goes. Wish us luck.
