Indeed, it's not for want of trying, but implementing features in gnumed is 
very hard, pages and pages of code to do even simple things. Professional
programmers would probably just keep slogging on, but when you rely on 
volunteers, things really grind to a halt, when they cease to become 'fun'.
Even if we did slog on, the result becomes too messy to be maintainable,
and the learning curve of the internal architecture is too steep for new
programmers to ascend easily.

Point is, I feel it would be faster to re-implement what we want (which is not 
quite what gnumed is or becoming) in Rails, and the result more useful.
