Where abouts in Sydney , and who are you doing the project with ?  Is 
the project open for collaboration with  overtly open source projects
such as gnumed ?
I live in Melbourne.  How do you find openEHR and XUL? What are the 
issues you've found with trying to build a gui generator
for openEHR?
Sorry if I sound a bit guarded, I sort of  trust  gnumedders more 
easily, when they make significant contributions such as code, 
critiques, requirement
specification, requirements exploration,  artwork.  But it would be good 
if someone who knew openEHR  well ,  joined the gnumed project !
