Merge with Wikipedia's page? about awesome-healthcare HOT 12 CLOSED

Thanks Matt for your persistence.
WP is one weird organism.
Oh yeah, it's run by humans.

@jsonin: oh wow, great idea!

@kakoni: we should make it a point to stay in sync with this Wikipedia page. Do you agree that this is a great idea? If so, I am happy to sync the pages.

I started to seed the Specifications into Wikipedia.
Already they dropped 2 (SHR + SMART on FHIR) because of notability guidelines. Uggh. So I understand the reason of posting here vs fighting the politics of WP. But they are a primary reference and sometimes its worth the initial skirmish.

Good point, I don't think the pages will be 100% in sync because of WP's requirements (which, in all honesty, I'm not against).

Even at 80% parity, I'm happy.

@MatthewVita go ahead!

I'm about halfway done with this work! Going to be updating this repo and the Wikipedia shortly.

UPDATE: This took hours (combed through each project to make sure it is active and provides value - lots of stuff checked in!). I'm going to update the Wikipedia page now!

NOTE: I simply added this section to the talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_open-source_health_software#Proposal_for_empty_links

None of the mergable links have WP pages

Thanks Matt.
That's a bunch of work!
Notice the radio silence in the WP talk, vs immediate deletion. This is what drives me nuts about WP...

Hi @jsonin, to be fair, each WP page is different (ran by different people), but I do get your frustration. If I don't hear back soon, I will simply apply the revisions :).

from awesome-healthcare.

Do you think I should insert empty links or external links? Don't want to cause too much friction.

For anyone interested, I've went ahead and added a whole bunch of empty links to the Wikipedia page. For full context, please see the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_open-source_health_software#Filling_in_gaps

To be honest, it was the maintainers of the projects that were not very responsive.

In addition to WP, open source is one weird organism.
Oh yeah, it's run by humans.
