The document discusses prototyping a new user interface for OpenMRS 2.0 using different frameworks, including doing proofs-of-concept integrating the OpenMRS API into Spring MVC with JQuery and researching Google Web Toolkit and Google Extensions for JavaScript. Work done so far includes setting up a sample patient dashboard in Spring MVC with a reusable encounter table widget and committing the code. Next steps involve verifying the modular architecture by adding an extension point from an external module.
