p.s. I dunno if I'll have time to follow this, but I'll try
attached mail follows:
Hi Mr. Colorio !
Let me quickly introduce myself. Besides being a Medical student from Germany  
I am heavily involved with the GNUmed project. If you care to visit our 
website you could find out that GNUmed is a software aimed at doctor's 
offices. We are a truly international project with people in different 
countries.
Well we program in python, wxpython , and wxWindows as GUI toolkit for reasons 
of cross-platform availability. Anyhow besides being actively involved in 
hacking I am also kind of the one who tries to set up connections. 
Since most of us are doctors ( or students) we concentrate on the medical core 
of GNUmed. You can easily guess that therefore there is little time to dig 
into special projects like chipcard handling, scripting Abiword etc.
So far I have established good connections to people who are good in their 
respective field. I can only guess but your posting at the abiword 
mailinglist told me that you are the person to talk to about GNUmed / Abiword 
interaction. So far whenever we approached someone we have articulated well 
expressed whishes and fellow developers have told me that because we clearly 
define what we would like it is really easy to contribute to GNUmed.
Anyhow, just in case you are still reading I would like to know if you would 
be willing to aid us in the process of getting a connection between GNUmed an 
Abiword. What we are looking for is a way to generate letters of referral 
from physician to physician with Abiword. Ideally with the push of a button 
within GNUmed we would go through a patient's health record and genrate a 
letter from what we find (ECG, lab results, etc.) Hopefully you get the 
picture.
Well despite our constant effort GNUmed is not yet in a state where this 
functionality is immediatly needed. I would like to know if you or someone 
you know is willing to contribute at all. I do not want to exploit anybody 
but I honestly believe this can be accomplished much easier by people who 
know Abiword a lot better than I do.
This functionality would not only benefit us but other medical projects as 
well. 
best regards,
Sebastian Hilbert
