The rest have either had public or commercial (enterprise) funding, 
yes? And though drug ref may not be "funded" (I am not sure), it has 
had help from OSCAR (and possibly other agencies) which is/are funded.

At this point I am really envying Wikipedia's help by Google if that 
goes through. GnuMed surely will need more help to be successful... I 
worry that if it is only/mainly Karsten, Ian, Carlos with bits of 
Hilmar, Horst, Andreas then by the time a prototype is workable 
(three to five years) the landscape may have changed dramatically. No 
doubt in my mind that GnuMed has *got* to be funded, if not directly, 
then indirectly (as I hope my pilot can help do if only in a small 
way, like a packet of crackers before a meal :-)).

Have we real disagreement on the point?
