We have started a Wiki page to support sharing templates you have created for GNUmed (all kinds of reports, letters, medication lists etc.)
http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/TemplateRepository
Please send your template via e-mail to gnumed-devel@gnuremoveme.org. We will then have a look, check it in our systems and upload it. You might attach it (see Attach at the bottom) here as well.
Please provide:
filename: e.g. medication_list.tex
description: e.g. a list of past and prestent medications taken by the patient
version: e.g. 0.1 please increase the version when you update the template
date: when was it you created the template
targeted GNUmed version: e.g. 0.8.x
license: GPL , FDL or anything you would like
source: either your name or 'VCS' when it gets incorporated into the main GNUmed repository
We hope to have a lot of templates up for download soon.

Ubunteros - we need you for GNUmed
Providing packages for various distributions is both challenging as well as rewarding. Many users are greatful when GNUmed is packaged for their favorite distribution. The challenge comes from the sheer number of operating systems and Linux distributions.
If you are a happy Ubuntu user and would like to support GNUmed by cooking up Ubuntu packages we would very much appreciate that. The nice thing about Ubuntu packages is that they pretty much stem from Debian packages without any change. And since Andreas Tille has continously provided high quality packages for Debian producing Ubuntu packages can be produced in about 30 minutes.
Please help out by donating 30 minutes each time a new version of GNUmed is released. Fellow Ubuntu users will be greatful. Help doctors install and update easily so they can have the best tools available to treat patients (which one day could be you)

Is there a need for a single-PC GNUmed ?
Following up on the issue of GNUmed's user interface.
In some countries the health system requires overly complex user interfaces and smart EMR and in some countries it seems to be possible to build you own EMR on OpenOffice and a Spreadsheet program.
I wonder if anyone feels that a special (reduced) version of GNUmed would make sense.
This version would
a) be non-network capable and therefore ship its own local (not systemwide) Postgresql (hidden from the user
b) get rid of server profiles in the login dialog (just one local server)
c) be Windows-only as non-systemwide installations of e.g. Postgresql on Linux and Mac is way too much work
d) have a local (non system wide) installation (hidden from the user) of Latex and pre-configured batch file for printing
I do not have the time to produce and maintain this but anyone wanting to do this can speak up.
It would be a one-time effort of 20-40hours (automate the changes) and another 2 hour effort for every GNUmed update.

salaam.homeunix.com fading out
salaam.homeunix.com was offered free of charge by dyndns. Recently there was a change where this domain name is only offered for a monthly fee.
We are currently replacing all instances which use this domain name (e.g. public database, online database schema documentation) by a new reference.
The new domain name will be publicdb.gnumed.de
This change will be effective in the Wiki immediately and in the GNUmed client starting with the next release.
Please let us know if you still find non-working references to salaam.homeunix.com
Best regards,
Sebastian

GNUmed wants you for translations
Hi all,
GNUmed 0.9 is nearing completion. This obviously will be the last major version before a 1.0 release. Generally 1.0 is seen as a stable release and creates all the media buzz.
Apart from the feature set I would really like to see a good set of translations. So if you have a few minutes to spare please consider translation a string or two into you mother tongue.
Head over to
https://translations.launchpad.net/gnumed/trunk/+pots/gnumed
and help out by giving GNUmed an interface in your language.
Much to my surprise Italian translation is about 85% complete. Thanks for that and thanks to all who have contributed to date.
Best regards,
Sebastian Hilbert

GNUmed 0.9 call for testing
We are nearing feature completion for GNUmed 0.9. Only minor
enhancements / fixes are planned to be added for this
release.
The current Git master at gitorious.org is fit for testing.
Downloading the "master" branch as a tarball, unpacking, and
running ./gm-from-vcs.sh from that should work. Note that
you need a properly upgraded database.
Please test, test more, test again, and report problems.
