Yes -- and I was trying to use the SparksToothChart component from that.
I don't really like that project since it is Windows-minded, i.e. it uses
System.Windows.Forms, and hasn't a native look&feel on Linux. That's why I'm
writing mine in GTK# :)
Also, Dr. Sparks (a dentist/programmer mix! :)), is not really openminded wrt
open source -- yes, the code is GPL, but before he included the patches to make
it run on Linux... and yet, the installation is not straight-forward, needs
some manual hacking -- not ideal for the end-dentist-user.
And no, forking from that project is not an option -- but probably getting some
components (like the SparksToothChart one) might be done.

From that page:
Project members:
federik.carlier, linuxninja39, mikemee, mmaglis, fromhell091, d.paleino
^^^^^^^^^
So yes -- actually I also had a d.paleino@gnudental.org account, but go check
what gnudental.org is today pointing to... seems like the project died alone. :/

I can't -- I already saw it :)
GNUmed is aimed at general practitioners -- it has some missing features
*needed* for a dentist software today (first of all -- a graphical tooth chart
to work with)
Thank you for re-pinging me though :)
Kindly,
David
