Yes and no. Since this is some fundamental issue which we don't have the 
resources to solve befor 0.10 (note the 0 ) we will work with what we have 
already. We will miss a lot of feedback because many users won't be able to 
feed back :-) Anyway. It should be high on the list for 0.12

I will put some docs in the Wiki next week on what we want and how it can be 
done. Just maybe there will be someone who goes. "

Oh look this is a nice little project for me. I need to know nothing about 
GNUmed and this talkback client can be used by many other project. I will do 
it right now" :-)

Not me of course.

I won't be discussing this right now but for the versioning scheme I have odd 
and even numbers in mind.

first release 0.10
second 0.12

Yes this skips 0.11 but it makes versions easier to follow. And yes I am 
thinkin about 0.10.1, 0,10.2 for bugfix releases as well.
