[FOSS_health] Colocation for oshca.org moving to Cyberjaya

[Molly Cheah]

Just a quick answer to your question Joris before this list goes offline 
for the server move. When OSHCA was submitted for registration in April 
2006 with a draft constitution which clearly define its Vision, Missions 
and the rest, the need for a web portal was felt but its features and 
user requirements were not fully worked out nor documented before its 
creation, except by a student as his training assignment (capturing his 
understanding).

The portal was nevertheless created and oshca.org is what it is today. 
Lately, after more than a year there were expressions of what additional 
features it should have (based on exchanges in the protem committee 
list). I have no objections to discussing these here, especially to take 
into consideration the need to create a collaborative platform to 
discuss a few project proposals... interoperability and data exchange, 
research frameworks, alternative hardwares for developing countries etc. 
Hope you can help there. It will be good if you can join OSHCA as a 
member Joris.

Rgds,
Molly
