How can I convince you that having a clear vision of what you want to build is no marketing buzz or academic nonsense ? If you build a house, you will sit down first and make a plan of what you need exactly. Then you ask an architect to make a plan of how the house will look like and how it will be built. The same goes for software engineering. First there is a vision (a goal), then you make up your specs, then you start to code. Without a clear vision, your specs will be wrong (written down or not), which will finally result in useless code. > Doesn't > help doctors a bit.

I guess the doctors do care for what Gnumed will be able to do finally. They just want to know if right now GNUmed matches their idea (=vision) of what a medical software should look like.
