Stream: implementers
Topic: Newbie looking for help building first IG

I am helping IHE with background work on Implementation Guides. Per a request from John Moehrke, Grahame suggested I start here:
http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=FHIR_Implementation_Guides
I wanted to find an example, and that page took me to the templates page: http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=FHIR_IG_publisher_templates
The templates page references three examples:
https://github.com/fhir/test-template
https://github.com/hl7/fhir-ig-template
https://github.com/hl7-au/fhir-ig-template
The first one (test template) has package and template folders but no content folder. The other two links return 404 errors. I looked on GitHub for other template examples, but did not find one.
The FHIR repository itself (https://github.com/HL7/fhir) has a guides folder, but the one sub folder (ehrsle) does not match the content/package/template I was expecting.
So, I seem to be missing something. Can you point me to an example of an IG that would work with the existing tool? My goal is to modify for IHE and get that working with your build server.

There's currently a lot of work going on in that area, but in general, you can start from one of the existing IGs such as USCore or QICore.

I'd also recommend subscribing to the IG creation stream, if you're not already, there is a lot of discussion there focused specifically on implementation guide authoring

Hi Steve. The one I took to IHE and you worked from is based on the davinci project. Before that I used the sdc-2

doesn't this help you get started? https://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/IHE_FHIR_Profile_Publication/Creating_new_Profiles
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 09 2018 at 14:51):
this explains to start from a barebones template and add conformance resources...
It did work. Possibly there are changes now in the IG publisher and we must catch up
Jose Costa Teixeira (Dec 09 2018 at 14:51):
the "barebones" is based on the templates I mentioned but stripped of any content

I have a small testing company in western Colorado. I need assistance with this build. Can someone assist? I do not know anyone around here who can do this, so am reaching out to this group. ANY information would be incredibly helpful!!

@Sarah Shook The IG Publisher Documentation, here, may be a reasonable starting point:
https://confluence.hl7.org/display/FHIR/IG+Publisher+Documentation
FHIR Shorthand (FSH) is an additional IG authoring tool which may be interesting to explore.

@Sarah Shook Most of the IG publishing folks hang out on the #IG creation stream. If you run into specific problems and post there, you'll get guidance pretty quickly. (You might also search to see if someone's already encountered the same thing and an answer already exists.)
There's also a bit of documentation here: http://build.fhir.org/ig/FHIR/ig-guidance/index.html
