Hi Phillippe, As a company producing open-source software for healthcare, we'd be very interested in this... especially if there's funding! ;-)
Please add me to your mailing-list I'd be interested to hear how your "Lego-bricks" will talk to each other? Will they all be written in the same language? Different languages but call each other via XML-RPC/SOAP? Different languages but exchange data via XML?
