[Gnumed-devel] GNUmed in Section contents in Synaptic Package Manager

[James Busser]

For reasons I may explain in a later email, I don;t have immediate  
access to Lenny so was working in a fresh virtual machine of Etch  
(4.0r4).

I noticed within Synaptic's left-sided package "Sections", that the  
filter "Documentation" *does* show

        gnumed-doc

However, it may be nice to think under what section gnumed-client  
might be placed... will Lenny provide sections like Business or  
Health or Medical or Professional? (In Etch it appears, perhaps by  
exclusion, only under "Miscellaneous - Text based".

Many of Ubuntu error logs may originate from casual users (tourists)  
lacking any real interest in GNUmed, I suppose that if every 100  
curious people included 5 or 10 clinicians (or IT people) who may get  
very interested in GNUmed, then for people to find out about GNUmed  
as a result of its listings could be very useful.

Ideas to help this further:

1. could the deb files and read-me docs include mention of the  
default user-id and passwords "any-doc", "any-doc"

2. since Debian and especially Ubuntu newbie users of "stable" may be  
unaware of newer versions of GNUmed, might we mention in future deb  
and read-me docs a line such as:

	Anyone using the "stable" versions of Debian and Debian-based  
distros like Ubuntu need to be aware that extra steps are required to  
become aware of, and to install, the server software, and/or newer  
versions of the GNUmed client. See the online information at
