- document how to setup Mirth on Debian/testing in general
  - beyond what is documented already elsewhere
  - content might go to our Wiki under, say LegacyAppConfiguration

- obtain sample hl7 data from Jim

- make Mirth pickup those file from a directory

- make Mirth "properly display" those files

- match hl7 content to target (GNUmed) database fields
  - once you have a list of which data I can fairly
    easily match them up and add necessary fields

- use Mirth facilities to map hl7 data into GNUmed fields

- document the above setup in the Wiki

- export the Mirth channel for inclusion in our CVS

No problem.
