I would like to see your opinion on naming of "openSUSE Medical Team"
?

In English that I know term "Medical Team" implies doctors and nurses
as a members, and the team activity is, health related, activity of
doctors and nurses, nothing close to software development,
collection, packaging etc.

I would like you to consider this naming to be corrected, if
necessary, before it is linked all over the web and hard to change
without producing a lot of broken links to our web sites which is not
popular anywhere, which can have negative impact on a openSUSE
Medical project http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE-Medical

It is there:

"openSUSE Health" sounds a lot more appropriate.

Or "openSUSE Healthcare" perhaps

openSUSE Medical Team is actually a fantastic marketing name. It
implies positively that we're all in this together and that openSUSE is
a part of YOUR team.

Medical Team - Medical Software Team - Medical Information Systems
MT - MST - MIS

The last is not very vibrant, new and intriguing, but it is exactly what
current offer is.


But... with that comes certain expectations with regards to quality of
oSMT, as dependable, reliable, and stellar in most scenarios. Can you
deliver on those expectations? There's certainly a lot of implied
weight to that name.

Apropos offer, the VA has good and opensource software for US medical
professionals. I don't know details, though.


Health sounds like a physical fitness or nutritonist offering. I don't
get the feeling that's what oSMT is about.

Healthcare sounds like an insurance company.

:)
That is why we need native speakers here.


Wot about "openSUSE-PostNatal" or "openSUSE-Paediatrics"? 8-) .

(I'll shut up now....)
