Users
If you know a Free Software project that might be useful for health care in any aspect and is not yet listed in our [http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/ task list] just inform us by writing an e-mail to our [http://lists.debian.org/debian-med mailing list].
If you have some language skills you can help to translate package descriptions for the packages we maintain in Debian. To do this go to our [http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/ddtp.php translation status page] and pick a project you would like to translate. Translation marked by a red "x" are not yet available. Click on the package you might like to translate the description and then pick your language.

- Package one of the most wanted packages from each section
Biology: [http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio.html#mauve Mauve] ( ;o) this is a rather funny name conflict here, mauve is not only a multiple genome alignment tool, but also a java library. The real link should better be to [http://wiki.bioinformatics.org/Mauve here]. I left a bit puzzled now, maybe a better package name would be bio-mauve? or genome-mauve?)
Epidemiology: [http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/epi.html#netepi-analysis ?NetEpi]
Imaging: [http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/imaging.html#bioimagesuite ?BioImagesuite]
Practice: [http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/practice.html#gnumed-server GNUmed server]
