<br></div>The wiki page is more like a roadmap for me than a list of packaged medical software. How do you plan to automatically generate the pages in Debian? Maybe we have a list of packages by group somewhere and I don't know?<br>
<br></div>On another side, I had some news from Seg3D mantainers on packaging issues, but I'm not sure if they are willing to accept patches related to that (I sent a separate mail to the list for that), so I'm a bit puzzled... What do you usually do in Debian in these situations?<br>

nice to hear about this success in Fedora medical SIG<br>

</div>Feel free to have a look into the available Debian packaging if this<br>
might be helpful. (I like to repeat the hint that you can find all<br>
medical imaging related applications in Debian here[1] while tools to<br>
develop medical imaging applications are listed here[2].)<br>

</div>These are good hints also for Debian. We should put these on our todo<br>
list.<br>

</div></div>Remark: In Debian Med (and other Blends - SIGs in Fedora jargon) we<br>
realised that keeping Wiki pages up to date costs some effort. So we<br>
found a solution to render these pages (like [1] or [2]) automatically.<br>
We are currently trying to improve this in a GSoC project. May be you<br>
might consider doing something similar in next years GSoC?<br>

</div>Ahh - I was inline answering. Now reading this I think this question<br>
was answered above and I'd be happy to help in case of questions.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> Is there anyone interested in all of this?<br>
<br>
</div>I'm definitely interested (even if I do not use Fedora, sorry).<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
