Legatum Homeopathicum projects

The following projects are currently being developed. Feel free to join and help.

  1. Project HomeoPublish – making homeopathic texts freely available in an appropriate format (such as HTML, XML, SQL export), preferably, suitably structured to maximize practical applicability (e.g. with a clear separation of sentences and paragraphs, a clear attribution to the table of remedies etc.)
  2. Project Remedies – a database of homeopathic medicines providing a traditional homeopathic name, scientific name, common names and synonyms and other related data (e.g. inclusion of different classes, breakdown by various attributes, etc.).

The following projects are currently in the planning stage.

  1. Project OBJREP – construction of a new, unique and unparalleled type of repertory – an object repertory, which allows much more accurate and reliable repertorisation (due to accurate connection to the contents of materia medica), which in its final form represents a de facto tool that removes the differences between traditional repertories and materia medica.
  2. Creation of an (online) expert system for lay and professional public, aimed at finding a suitable homeopathic medicine for an acute case.
  3. Creation of (online) structured questionnaires for efficient case taking (needed for implementation of the project 2).
  4. Publishing practical guides for the use of homeopathic medicines for general public.

Get involved

There is a lot of work to do! If you have time and skills, feel free to join the effort (see the list of areas below). You can work on your own or join the teams for a more coordinated process.

The list below is not exhaustive, so if you have other ideas how you can contribute, don't hesitate and let us know!

Wiki gardening and Proofreading

The wiki gardening process mainly involves correcting typos and stylistic errors, creating new interlinks, improving formatting, incorporating suggestions from the discussions under articles, deleting discussion entries that are no longer valid and adding illustration graphics where appropriate (icons, author photos, original manuscript scans etc.). Anyone can join, but please read the formatting syntax manual before proceeding. We also need proofreaders for Project Homeopublish.

Translation

If you have an excellent command of English, you can start translating articles to your target language (especially those in Resources section). Make sure to read the translation guidelines before proceeding.

Programming

We need programmers for developing online applications and programming DokuWiki plugins for Legatum Homeopathicum. If you have good command of PHP, AJAX, Actionscript, Javascript or other programming languages suitable for online deployment, some rudimentary SQL skills and care to join, please send us your application.

Project management

We need team leaders who will manage, supervise and organize work within their respective teams (such as for project HomeoPublish, communications and marketing etc.). Interested? Apply here.

Section leaders

Sponsoring and fundraising

TANSTAAFL – while we wish to provide free homeopathic tools and content, someone always has to pay for their creation – it is either time or money. If you like what we do and support our projects, please consider a financial donation to our cause. If you know people or organizations that would be willing to support us, or can organize a fundraiser in support of our effort, please make a contact.
