Dan,this was a good way to start...i am looking to design an electronic medical record that uses xml. i realized that a patient's chart is nothing more than a collection of pages. Some charts in our office run into the hundreds of pages over decades. Some of those pages are data about the patient, his/her insurance coverage and other biographical and contact information and the remainder is interactions with his/her physician. Would there be a way to design an xml "intranet" for each patient (or a collection of pages) that serve the same function as the chart of the patient and that can all be linked together under the patient's unique name/date of birth/etc. All of these "charts" or collection of xml pages would then be linked together under one physician practice. Gathering performance data, billing, or scheduling would involve searching the practice intranet for all the pages that satisfy a given criteria. Financial data could also be gathered this way...any thoughts?shash
I am not sure where to post this text...so please excuse me if it was posted twice.

Getting Started- Technical
Need to get ideas flowing on the technical end? Here are some starters...
Web 2.0 defined O'Reilly's Web 2.0 article is pretty thought-provoking, I think, although some people seem to hate him.
Paul Graham - A very smart venture capitalist based in Stanford who thinks you don't have a chance at creating a start-up company (read essays). I think he's wrong. Of course, if you knew the difference between good advice and bad advice, then perhaps you wouldn't need advice. There is some excellent and up-to-date stuff in those essays though.
Cloud Computing (wiki) How many Vapor-Ware jokes have been made about this?
The Potential Of Cloud Computing (June 2009)

Welcome
Welcome Auburn Entrepreneurial Technology Group Members. We had our kickoff meeting Fri February 15th, 2008. Professor Umphress is directing these meetings and will be notifying everyone of the next one.
About The Group
Please keep in mind that there are a few different types of participants in this group from technology and business experts to investors. Hopefully, this mix will create a sort of natural spectrum of members who find that their interests lie somewhere along the line between technical theory/abstraction and ROI & profit margins. The idea, in some respects, is to disburden each one of us so that we can free up our particular area of focus.
Food For Thought
Below is an Oct 2006 article which lists 20 companies that VCs have publicly stated that they will fund. Perhaps seeing concrete examples of what venture capitalists are willing to put money into will spark some ideas for us. Or perhaps once we better understand our strengths we could generate our own list by contacting VCs directly?
