Yes, Michael Bonert had suggested similar. Currrently at gnumed.org 
people will see only 2 of the FAQs... I had held off further site work 
awaiting Tony to improve some code and plan then to post the following 
improved version listed below (also listed at the TWiki)

@ Sebastian together with the remaining set of questions will it be 
clear enough?... Jim

What is GnuMed?

GnuMed is a group of practising physicians, programmers and free 
software enthusiasts from around the world, committed to provide a 
superior, free software solution for community practice. Using 
tried-and-true technology, GnuMed software will start out having 
record-keeping, but will eventually cover all aspects of medical 
practice, and will interface well with 3rd-party software. Technical 
speaking, it tries to do things "cleanly", but takes a pragmatic rather 
than purist approach. Currently, data is accessed via business objects 
implemented in Python directly accessing the PostgreSQL RDBMS, but will 
access various types of data stores such as RDBMS' or LDAP.
