I saw that. It was a PHP3 project, with a SQLite backend. Or kinda. And the
graphic layout was kinda awful :(

I did start (once) to port it to (at least) PHP5 (if not PHP6 in the future),
but it was just too messy. Some day maybe I'll take it again.
I'm actually crossing fingers for GNUDental [1]. I'm an official developer of
it (I also have a david@gnudental.org address, lol), but it's actually working
only on Windows. We have some success cases on Ubuntu and Gentoo, but they
require mono packages that aren't still available on Debian (SVN HEADs, for
example). I hope that, as soon as I get my laurea diploma (in 3 yrs, I hope),
it will be fully working. I don't want to use Windows after years of Debian
just because of my work. :(

I think I'll eventually end up in using OdontoLinux, porting it to newer
versions.

(I remember I also contacted the authors on sf.net to be added to the project
members -- they didn't contact me back)
