Re: [Gnumed-devel] Gnumed-devel Digest, Vol 131, Issue 5

Making gnumed available over the web may be a good plan in the long-term. 
Looking at current developments in html5 and the ubiquity of internet-enabled 
devices, it might actually be an essential feature, especially if gnumed is to 
inter-operate well with other HMSes.

As an aside, a question I've been wanting to ask on this mailing list is why 
latex was chosen over an xml dialect as the preferred language for templating 
and inputting patient data.

Which provides a highly negative "added value" for the end user.

So just forget it. "Web apps" are a fad, created from a cerebral
flatulance of a "leader", i.e. a clueless moron who never had to do any
actually useful work with a computer.

Sincerely,

Now that is an highly interesting opinion. Could you be more specific ?
 
There must be a technical reason why you dislike web apps. 

What I look for when using (maybe inaccurate wording) the term web app is a 
way to let a user use no more then a webbrowser to look up information in a 
GNUmed database and to store information in a GNUmed database.

Why is this an interesting concept ? Because it allows a user with few 
ressources to access information. I also allows you to access information in 
environments where you don't have access to your fully tailored working 
environment (your own devices).

Let me know what you think.

Sebastian
