[Gnumed-devel] long distance help via chat feature

[Sebastian Hilbert]

It all about the end user.

The chat feature in the Wiki has been there for a while. I have not been 
contacted that often but since Ubuntu released its new version 3 people have 
showed up in the last 2 days.

There was a guy from Trinidad and two from Russia. The chat feature helped to 
get one guy from Russia and the one from Trinidad on track. Both had GNUmed 
running once I told them the secret password for the public database :-)

The secret password for salaam.homeunix.com is:

user: any-doc
password: any-doc

The second guy from Russia hit a bug. He was very helpful by providing log 
files and we should see a bugfix release soon. He worked we me on this for 
over one hour which I appreciate.

Turns out part of the problems is there are virtually unlimited possiblities 
to get the whole UFT8. UTF-8, uft8 and utf-8 thing for PostgreSQL wrong.

Judging by various sources I have people from all over the world are looking 
at GNUmed. Indonesia, Russia, Argentina, Netherland, Austria, Germany, 
Moldavia are just a few that looked at GNUmed during the last 24 hours.

Not all of them seem to be satisfied with what they find. A good number of 
them are looking for billing solutions.

This could well be the beginning of a stable GNUmed community.
