Well, nowhere did he say that gnumed is a standalone EHR. OTOH
he neither said that to get demographic data entered into
GNUmed you'll "need TurboMed". Which isn't true anymore as we
speak.

Not from a business point of view. Of course, if we were
bisinezmen trying to get customers to buy from us we'd have
nothing to show, really. But we ain't.

Interesting. That's the first time you gave a definitive list
you consider 0.1-able. And, do you really care whether you'll
be laughed at ?

>       - create, delete, edit demographics
create - being finished as we speak
delete - not necessary for 0.1
edit - well, your call ;-)

>       - enter and view simple free text narratives
both work

>       - create, edit, view a past history list
a) past history list as in past medical history ?
   - not necessarily 0.1 IMO but arguably so

b) or past history list as in past and present problem list ?
   - that we already have

>       - upload and view documents
already works but not 0.1-target IMO
