Jim is right. At the time there was simply noone to pull it off.

 

I have been looking searching for a viable solution for ages. There are quite a few scheduling solutions out there.

 

I then came to the conclusion that would make little sense to write a full blown solution from scratch. Rather one of the webbased solution could be attached to GNUmed.

 

I never found any software with a suitable API which GNUmed could use. So appointment handling never came to light.

 

Judging by the current situation it could indeed make sense to take a good look at the above mentioned code and have that polished for GNUmed.

 

With regards to ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/gnu/www/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gnumed/developer-manual/appointment-book.html

 

I don't have the slightest idea if this code ever existed. If so it was long before GNUmed became what it is today.
