It'll be possible but really quite hard to get "it". It's
difficult for non-community doctors to grasp the dynamics of
GP care - let alone for software developers. I have
witnessed them struggle.

Yes. I am happy to assist with any questions.

However, autodoc generates a visualization of how the
database objects are related to each other. Which is the
first step in reverse-engineering this into a "proper" UML
diagram.

Which is sort of our "data dictionary" and describes what is
the *minimum* necessary to know for modelling.

Which are function points that are implemented.

Sounds good to me.

Which is a shame and a major pain as it would mean we'd have
to populate the web manually.

Note: Python doesn't directly support Aspect-oriented
programming without fairly clever metaclass manipulation
AFAIK.
