The project's efforts +significantly ease the task of software installation on a user's system +by creating 'metapackages', or names in the Debian software packaging +system which denote collections of software that are commonly used +together to accomplish a given sort of task---medical tasks, in this +case. We attend to security problems and bugfixes and quite frequently +we support upstream developers with patches to enhance their software. +Because of this we have established rather good connections with the +authors of the software in our area and encourage the formation of a +large community around the Free Software universe of medical resources +-- on the solid and well known technical basis of the Debian +distribution.
