The HL7 GForge HelpDesk is intended to provide general support for individuals wanting to use the HL7 GForge site. It is your primary point of contact for any technical questions related to the use of the HL7 GForge. The HL7 GForge/SVN platform is hosted by the GForge Group, LLC. The HL7 GForge site is intended to:
Serve as a central resource point for publishing, downloading, maintenance and support of non-commercial HL7 tools.
Provide a tool for other HL7 Work Group to manage project artifacts.
Simplify and coordinate the tooling and other committee maintenance processes by providing standardized mechanisms for requesting features, reporting defects and requesting support.
Support HL7 tool users in reporting issues with tools and tracking their resolution.
Enable release management and version control for tools and other Work Group artifacts.
