I am from the GNUmed team. We use python and wxpython as well. So I am definetly interested in this future development. I am a full time doctor trying to devote much time to GNUmed but I sure understand the concept that simply asking for something isn't going to get me there :-) I would like to extend my question. Would it be possible to have chandler web interface in some way be used to check for free slots and let patients schedule visits which in turn would show up in chandler desktop ? > > Cheers, > --Grant > > > _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ > > Open Source Applications Foundation "chandler-dev" mailing list > http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-dev -- Sebastian Hilbert Leipzig / Germany [www.gnumed.de] -> PGP welcome, HTML ->/dev/null _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "chandler-dev" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-dev
