Well, I think Sitplus is more a therapeutic tool than an computer aid

I've just registered and made a joining request to the project. My
login in luinix-guest.

I'm already using GitHub for the code. You can check it at [1]. Of

I've just subscribed to debian-med@list.debian.org. I'll re-send my

Please let me know if you need something else.
