I'm just a final user and will never be a developper anyway but you speak
there for a general software including all data and all functionnalities.
In France we've got our own software (under mac and windows of course) for
presciption data which is called data and sent freely to any doctor.
it will then be more interesting to add a link for this module (bonobo like
for gnome user, OLE for windows users...) and use then the client side.
It could be less expensive to do if we dispatch some process to the client
side more than doing them all on the server side.
