Re: [Gnumed-devel] ASCII export

None. Readibility is the only concern. This is to attest to
our intent to make export available.

Export has two directions to go off into:

export formats: you name it

export amount:
 eventually, I'd imagine a widget that let's me select
health problems, episodes, encounters, time ranges, data types
(SOAP style) in nearly arbitrary combinations and makes the
data thus selected available to a next-in-chain formatter. The
widget could be initialized with some constraints (same ones
as listed above). But all that is post 0.1

0.1 should simply export the EMR data into a text file. One or
several patients. All, or time range or
issue/episode/encounter constrained.

Even with this simple tool I can already generate useful text
files for inclusion in legacy-app referral letters, such as a
dump of the lab data in a given time range. Useful, no ? Or
generate a complete listing of a patient's chart for encrypted
mailing to his next treating physician. Or generate a full
cleartext dump of all my e charts for zipping/hashing/signing.

Simplicity rules.
