Ok. Some bits for the curious. First. I am back. This means I am finally done 
with my finals. I will be off to Brazil to go kitesurfing but I will have a 
laptop with me to do some work ( besides Gnumed ). 

I have added some information about the document archive to the Wiki.
What we have deployed is really simple. 
1.) Need for deployment : Too many paper documents in one patient's folder
Exeeded physical capacity. We started by digitizing newly arriving paper 
documents. As of now we have found someone who is capable of scanning in all 
documents one by one. 
2.) goal : reduce paper in patient's folders to a minimum
3.) howto: use the document archive solution within Gnumed (needs some setup 
but can be done) or use the three individual programs standalone.
See Wiki for detail of workflow.
4.) benefit as of now : no new paper hits the folders. Newly arrived documents 
are available at all PCs. This has been reported to lower the numer of 
missing documents plus maing it easy to reproduce/fax, whatever.
This *is* a usecase and has been used without hassle for some time (2years or 
so - I don't remember ) It started well before Gnumed integration. 

Many features might be missing but none of the features are essential to our 
deployment. It's up to your usecase to add features you need.
