The existing *edit* interface wasn't going anywhere I could see. The
wizard is a quick-and-dirty *input* interface for 0.1. If someone
writes something better for 0.2 I am all fine with it. We have
been thinking about reusing the individal pages inside
notebook pages for editing demographics.

It can be dumped soon enough. Entering a new patient is a
well-defined *task* akin to "installing some software" or
"running through a file sequentially". Unlike editing
demographics which is "random access to a file".

There are two viewers: Journal and tree. There is one progress
note input widget, namely multi sashed progress note. Run 0.1.

You can see it in the progress note editor and in the EMR tree
browser. You can add problems simply by adding a note for
them. We need more code around that, agreed.

Thanks.
