Re: Orthanc for digital pathology

[Sébastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@chu.ulg.ac.be>]

Dear all,

The new "orthanc-wsi" package was submitted more than two months ago, 
but is still pending in the NEW queue:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

As this package is the first free and open-source, reference 
implementation of DICOM for microscopic whole-slide imaging (digital 
pathology), I think providing it through Debian could expand the field 
of scope of the Debian Med community.

As a consequence, I feel it would be important to make sure it gets 
accepted into unstable before the Debian Stretch soft freeze, which will 
occur in the following next days. Is there anything I can do to speedup 
the review process?

Best Regards,
Sébastien-
