Nice to hear gnumed is still under heavy development :-) .
I have some questions about the status quo of the project, since
i'm in the process of updating the client and server packages for
Mandrivalinux 2009.0.

1. When using client-0.3.5 and server v9, i can't connect to either
local or remote database, the selection field only says v8 for both.
The error message displayed is a bit irritating, it says:

   Diese Datenbankversion kann mit dieser Programmversion nicht
   verwendet werden:

    Version des Client: 0.3.5
    Gefundene Version: v8
    Benötigte Version: v9

   Momentan geöffnete Datenbank:

    Server: salaam.homeunix.com
    Datenbank: gnumed_v8
    Nutzer: any-doc

Does that mean that the client now requires a v9 database?
And what does "Gefundene Version: v8" mean?
And about the public remote database, i thought this would
always be the latest version?

2. The project status overall. Is the client-0.3.5/server-v9 the
new "stable" series or is it the development version? Which
version should be used for productive usage? I found the
wiki a bit unclear at this point, as it only mentions current
and past releases, but not the status in general, or did
i overlook something there?

3. The third one is more technical. When the bootstrap-latest.sh
script is run during rpm installation, it always fails at the very first 
step,
probably where user interaction is required. If the same commands
used in the rpm are run manually, the bootstrap process runs
as usual (asks at every step for yes/no and what password).
How should i do the debugging?

The bootstrapping-v2.log file gives this information:

Can you tell me what this means?

4. The announce mentions packages for Mandriva 2009 are in the works.
May i ask who packages/works on them?
