I have an opportunity to have Envolution installed at the Indiana University School of Nursing. This would not be a typical implementation of our CMS. Instead it would be a very stripped down version that performs 1 single function. Here is the idea and philosophy driving this idea for a proposal. There is a need for a web interface to a medical records database. No news posting or comments are needed. All that is required is a user registration system just like we already have. Uopn logging in the user would see only their home page (where you select your theme/skin, and set preferences). Once logged in the user would be presetned with two links ONLY..the "Change you info" link and the "Logout/Exit" link. Clicking on the "Change your info" link would bring the user to the page to put in their information...except the form will be much longer and contain fields for medical records as well as basic demographic information. The admin user only needs a way to manage and modify user information and post informational "news" articles. If we can (this doesn't sound too hard) provide this we may (stress "may") be able to get it implemented at Indiana University and may (again stress "may") be able to use them as a test bed for the CMS and generate white papers on it's implementation. There is also a possibility we could also land some funding (stress "possible" not guaranteed) for the Envolution project. Requirements: 1) A very stripped core: Small footprint 2) Only required publishing features would be to allow the admin user to post a simple announcement 3) Modules that would be required are the user module, lost password, Legal module, languages, and the FAQ module. 4) Only blocks needed would be the Main Menu, and maybe a couple extra blocks for announcements and information This could be an excellent test bed using a major and well known medical and nursing research institution. There is also the opportunity for further commercial ventures by enterprising third party developers. This goes very well with advocacy and implementation issues with Envolution. I would appreciate any and all feedback on this. Zoom
