update according to our discussions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ = Media types on Debian-Med desktops +
Some Debian-Med package associate file suffixes to applications by using the method described in the MimeTypesSupport page of this wiki. This is a bit experimental an unofficial, as there is no support in upstream packages. This page keeps track of the associations.
Eventually it will be better to forward the associations to the !FreeDesktop.org shared MIME database, in coordination with upstream.

Hint: one can determine the MIME type using {{{gnomevfs-info}}} or {{{gnomevfs-info -s}}} (for the slow mode, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2008/01/msg00073.html)
- == SEE ALSO =+ == Chemical MIME =+
+ Follwing discussion on the DebianMed mailing list (http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2008/01/msg00093.html), it has been proposed that:
+
+ * If a chemical/* media type already exists, we will use it.
+ * We will not create new chemical/* media types.
+ * We will not migrate some types from chemical/* to text/*.
+ * If somebody can propose a patch that reduces the size of the warning for using the chemical/* types, we will make our packages recommend [http://packages.debian.org/chemical-mime-data chemical-mime-data], and file wishlist bugs wherever appropriate.
