I always hesitate to pick this up because I can do little to make these 
problems go away. Let us just assume that new developers don't know more 
about GNUmed than I do. How can they find out ?

Do we have concepts ? 
Can someone please describe the concepts. I mean actually write a document !?

Who cares if these concepts might change a hundred times. IMHO it is more 
important to have bad documentation than to have none.

Weak developers like myself need examples. Let us at least implement one GUI 
plugin the way it should be done. I volunteer do adapt all other plugins to 
the concepts once I know them.

I will write a document 'How to code a plugin for GNUmed'. It will be very 
poor from an experienced programmer's perspective but maybe you get the drift 
and it can show you just what the problems for new developers are.
