Re: [samannsml@directbox.com: Medicine-HowTos]
Dear Sascha,
I read from the FedoraMedical list that you are updating the MedicineHOWTO.
Here are a couple of suggestions concerning Debian Med. They have not been
reviewed by my colleagues, but I thought that we would save some time if I
sent them to everybody.
- We clarified our name, without a dash at the middle.
- Since our activities are broad, I would like to suggest to put our
general presentation ouside the Medical Record Applications section.
- More in general, I have updated our presentation.
The patch attached here may be a bit intrusive, but I hope it will be helpful to you.
Have a nice day,
--
