Dear Orthanc users,
There are currently 2 pages on Wikipedia that provide a draft description of Orthanc (in English and in French):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthanc_(software)
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthanc_(logiciel)
The information found on these pages is still very sparse, and I think there is a need to greatly improve it, especially wrt. to the following features:
- History.
- General architecture (lightweight, C++, standalone, REST API, Orthanc Explorer…).
- Available platforms (Windows, Linux, Docker, FreeBSD, support of Raspberry Pi, cloud, OS X…)
- DICOM protocol support (C-Echo, C-Store, C-Find, C-Move, WADO-URI, WADO-RS, QIDO-RS, STOW-RS…).
- Lua scripting.
- Plugins (general framework, Web viewer, PostgreSQL, DICOMweb).
- Comparison with other DICOM servers (notably dcm4chee).
Even though all this information can be found somewhere on the official Web site (http://www.orthanc-server.com/) or inside the Orthanc Book (https://orthanc.chu.ulg.ac.be/book/index.html), I think it should be summarized on Wikipedia to the benefit of a wider audience.
I could obviously do this job by myself. However, because Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, I am not objective enough to carry on this writing task.
As a consequence, I launch a call to contributors: Could you help improve the pages about Orthanc on Wikipedia? I thank you much in advance!
Regards,
Sébastien-
