What category for edfbrowser (Was: Bug#551045: ITP: edfbrowser -- a viewer for medical timeseries storage files)

[Andreas Tille <tille@debian.org>]

Hi Bas,

I just stumbled upon this nearly one year old posting.  I have seen that
edfbrowser had several updates and is actively maintained.  However I
wonder whether you might consider joining the Debian Med team anyway.
>From your single posting to the list which I answered below I had the
feeling that you were not fully aware what Debian Med is because you
used terms like "normal archive" etc.  Did my mail helped you
understanding that we are just approaching to assemble all medical
software inside the "normal archive" to a set of packages which is
easier available for users.  One part is the (not mandatory) group
maintenance of packages.  An other part is to list the software in so
called tasks.  Could you please at least have a look at the list of our
tasks[1] and suggest one of them we might mention edfbrowser in.  I
admit I'm a bit unsure whether it is imaging, tools, orp practice (it
can also show up in more than one task for sure!) or if we even need a
new category.

Do you maintain perhaps some other packages with relevance for medical
care which just escaped our attention because we do obviosely not know
very much about what packages you are working on?

Kind regards and thanks for your work on edfbrowser

     Andreas.
