Please, please, please do make the content programmatically
accessible and useful, eg:
select tests.test_name from tests where tests.linked_diagnosis = 'borreliosis';
Contrived, yes, but you get the idea. GNUmed would be the
first to access this database.

Sure, no problem.

Good.

Good, too.

Please do try hard working with Debian-Med as much as
possible. It'd be a really pityful and tremendous waste of
scarce resources to duplicate any work. I could see Medical
Ubuntu to provide a) content and b) some sugar fluffing up
Debian-Med while Debian-Med itself might focus on a)
packaging and b) infrastructure (CDD, med-common, menu
structure, package tagging etc).
Hopefully this leads to greater good !
