Julio, I agree that a useful and friendly interface is essential. Hopefully, more end users will be willing to review these systems and provide feedback. No matter how talented (or conceited) we are, there is no way to improve user interface design without end user involvement. Flexibility of user interface is essential, but not sufficient. :-) This is THE motivation for having our own "database" of user reviews and comments at the OIO Library (http://www.txoutcome.org). The idea is that if everyone will take a few minutes to submit a review of each other's software, then we can all benefit. > I think that FreeMD Do you mean FreeMed? I have not been able to reach their site for the last few days (http://www.freemed.org). What do you like about the FreeMed interface? Have you tried the FreePM interface (http://www.FreePM.Org)? It is similar to the FreeMed interface. > has a pretty inteface, but OIO for example has not > reached this and must perform its GUI. I agree that the OIO interface is not nearly as pretty - however, I hope you will try it and help us improve it. I do think the OIO system has the most user-friendly multi-lingual system, however :-). Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P.
