yes and no.

Absolutely. I have expressed that many times. There is no doubt about that.
For me there never was.

Hmm. Maybe I do not choose my words carefully enough. After all English is
not my native language. BTW I aprreciate I anyone with better English tnan
mine undertakes the effort to correct my mistakes in the Wiki. Youy might
want to start with the page InstallGuides and work from there.

1) I do appreciate Richard's work
2) I never demanded anyone being able to code anything
3) I repeatedly *tried* to express that in *my* opinion the way Gnumed is
developped currently I don't see a way how Richard's code in its current
state (designed to show the flow not the programming elegance) can go into
*first* release of Gnumed unless 
4) **someone** takes Richard's code piece by piece rewrites it and connects
it to the middleware. 
5) If that someone manages to do this for all of Richard"s code/ideas before
0.1 I see no reason why it should not be part of that release.
6) other than that only pieces that have been converted and connected will
be part of 0.1
7) The world doesn't stop spinnig after 0.1

8) Richard knows all that - I really hope (I can be wrong)

Words are cheap. This whole issue we not be entertained by me any further
since like all things in life it will get worse or resolve itself.

Sebastian
