The point is that for my project, one part of the application has to
cover terrain covered by some 'core' part of GNUmed, I am
half-seriously thinking if providing that part to GNUmed would attract
GNUmed devs to adopt it. 

However, no offense, but I primarily interested to hear Karsten's
answer to whom the question was actually addressed.

Who said that the current development would stop during 'rewrite?

I must say that both you & Andreas have rich imagination. ;)

The question was: "if someone would re-wrote major part of
GNUmed in say Haskell using Qt toolkit in few months, would you jump
on the (new) train?", i.e. it is question whether if someone provides
some 'proof of concept' it would change the mind of the main dev to
adopt 'new technology', nothing else. :-)


Sincerely,
Gour
