2.9.1 Community

The FHIR community meets inside the wider HL7 community and draws on its extensive human resources, institutional memory, previous standards and corporate support. HL7 itself owns FHIR and makes it freely available and the community relies on HL7 provided infrastructure.

The primary resources used by the FHIR community are the HL7 wiki , the FHIR email list and the gForge (for subversion and tracker capabilities). In addition, the community holds regular face to face meetings as part of the HL7 Working Group meetings . The formal governance arrangements that manage FHIR development are documented on HL7's wiki
