I agree here.

Here the lack of a clear use case is raising it's head. No one
stands up and says "At the very minimum I need GnuMed to do this
and that on the first release". We (Sebastian and me) do have
specific use cases. Those are partially deployed, partially
solved, partially in progress. I have just taken those, added
in what seems like one cannot do without at all (eg patient
input), made some points a little more generic, and called the
result 0.1 roadmap. The governing goal here would be "working
minimum functionality on sound technical infrastructure".

Certainly a worthy goal but it'd be a shame if it was the only
one.
