I agree.

@public. Disclaimer. The following argument does not represent the GNUmed 
project but rather that of two individuals that happend to discuss this on 
this list. GNUmed is alive and well. It is progressing and currently involved 
in discussion how development could be changed to fit more people's visions.

Don't trust me. Get the picture yourself. Look at our code for progress.
cvsmonitor.gnotary.de/cvsmonitor.pl

our documentation

Richard,
cut the crap. Offer Daniel help instead of painting a negative image of 
GNUmed. Change the situation and put effort where your mouth is.

@Daniel. I am not the project lead but I will be happy to answer any question 
you might have. I am just one of those who have stuck to the project long 
enough to know what I am talking about. All I know about GNUmed is what I 
have learned over the years.

If you feel it is too hard to penetrate GNUmed's "shell" please let *me* know 
what you are looking for.

You said that about a month or so ago.  I must have missed your announcement 
to take over responsibility. Sorry.

what the hell are you talking about ? Karsten does not control anything. I am 
getting pissed here. Karsten is maintaing the backend. I cannot remember a 
single contribution of your's that has been rejected. Stop announcing that 
crap. 

*You* scare interested parties away because you paint a negative picture.

@Richard. I don't know how often I have to say this. You are free to change 
this. Noone will block your efforts. I just don't see your efforts. I am 
getting sick of this.

@Richard,
Why in the hell did *you* not produce something better. You say this for six 
years now. But you have not been able to come up with anything better. Now 
how does that make you look.

Go look at the Wiki right now. How many specs have been written by you ?

I told Richard in private mail that I was trying to keep this personal 
argument off this list as it will give the public the impression that GNUmed 
people fight more among themselves then doing anything useful.
Right or wrong it is time I publicly voice my disapproval of Richard's 
constant arguments that lead nowhere.


@ public. This is not the case. I have continously supported any effort to 
change the situation but some people on this list can only talk instead of 
putting specs and code where their mouth is.
