Hi David,

Thanks for the link to SimPrints.

Have had a quick - looks interesting.

I remain curious whether anyone within the GNU community has done a similar thing.

Regards,

Robert

in India it's used, there exists a project realized in several areas:

The linked organisation SimPrints  seem ignoring the fact of not-existing or lost fingerprints but I never digged deeper there and I might mistake.

I suppose in Africa exist some projects like that too but I never search more now.

Just search "identification by fingerprints in health system" in a search-engine of your choice to see more results.

One important issue about biometrics is the case that they might get lost intentionally by arranged accidents if there seems being any advantage by it.

There exist people with those ideas and it had at least to be discussed.

Best Regards,

David
