Revision History
Revision 2.0.1 2002-02-19 Revised by: gea
Minor changes, Changed license to GPL. Some more reorganization. Which to say I have deleted out a ton of comments that I put that were useless. More pimping of Debian-med.
Revision 2.0 2002-02-05 Revised by: gea
Major changes. Conversion from linuxdoc to DocBook format. Have basically edited out nutrition sections and most of the German section for now until I can get help again the German section. Have switched focus of the article to Medical informatics and applications, less to research applications which should probably be a different article. Will most likely put these things I will not maintain at the end, so someone else has some where to begin. Whew. Tired from DocBook Conversion.
Revision 1.4.3 2002-02-5 Revised by: gea
Doing minor checks of links. no big change yet
Revision 1.4.2 2002-02-05 Revised by: gea
I have started to make structural changes to the documents. Changes Community to the fore-front. renamed Medical Application to Medical Record Application to make it more usable.
