If anybody knows of any movement there, please reply to this list so we know
how to get involved

&gt; &gt; Hi,<br>
&gt; &gt; =A0 =A0 =A0First, let me say that I am sorry to see Google Health=

&gt; &gt; think it was a worthy project, and despite my criticism over the =

&gt; &gt; I have always admired your smooth delivery and classic design.<br=

&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I would ask that you consider Open Sourcing portions of Google He=
alth.<br>
&gt; &gt; For me, the order of priority is the following:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; 1. please Open Source your API. This way, the Open Source communi=
ty<br>
&gt; &gt; can work on cloning your offerings using existing PHR projects li=
ke<br>
&gt; &gt; Indivo X.<br>
&gt; &gt; 2. If you can release reference implementations of you API relate=
d<br>
&gt; &gt; code (i.e. your feed/CCR mix) that would be especially helpful.<b=
r>
&gt; &gt; 3. Please consider Open Sourcing other important components, I kn=
ow<br>
&gt; &gt; you have a blue button parser, for instance, that could exist as =
a<br>
&gt; &gt; separate Open Source project.<br>
&gt; &gt; 4. Please consider Open Sourcing your whole codebase.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I know #4 is a long shot. Unlike Google Wave, Google Health was n=
ever<br>
&gt; &gt; intended (as far as I know) to exist outside the confines of Goog=
les<br>
&gt; &gt; considerable hosting infrastructure. Even if you released the cod=
e, it<br>
&gt; &gt; might not be possible for any of us to make it work. If that is t=
he<br>
&gt; &gt; case than a full Open Source release would be still-born and most=
ly<br>
&gt; &gt; useless to the community.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Still I want to point out that Open Sourcing Google Health is not=
 an<br>
&gt; &gt; all-or-nothing issue and that many of use have invested deeply in=
 your<br>
&gt; &gt; technology. Open Sourcing what you can is a good way for us to re=
cover<br>
&gt; &gt; some of our investment.<br>
&gt;<br>
