Re: [Gnumed-devel] GNUmed brochures (was When will GNUmed be ready)

[Hilmar Berger]

Hi,

I would emphasize the long-time goals more than what GNUmed can do today. After 
all,
we are at v0.2 and a lot of parts are still missing. 
You should say that GNUmed one day is planned to be a complete EMR with possibe 
integration of other software (billing etc.). 

Don't tell the world that we already have four walls, tell them we want to 
build a house.
