In Brazil.  I'm currently a CS graduate student in the U.S.

Ahh, ok. Makes sense now. I'll look into updating the docs. I've worked
with SGML in the OpenACS project, where I managed the documentation for a
good while.

Thank you.

How many people we have working actively on the project? Do we know how
many doctors we have giving input?

potential, and could do lots of good worldwide. Here in Brazil, for
example, you can only purchase proprietary systems for windows. EVery
developer I've contacted about having a solution for a free OS says the
same thing: "there's no demand. everybody uses windows."

Having been down that path of proprietary windows systems, I don't want to
go down there anymore.
