Document manager plugin roadmap

The document manager should allow users to:

• easily add documents in the patient records
• easily search through these docs
• add comments to docs
• print docs && send them by mail

There should be many ways to add docs to the doc manager:

• directory scanning and parsing (file are named by patient name → trying match, errors or missed ones are presented)
  • please ask Pierre-Marie for his parser code that can be a start
• directly from scanner (multiOS: Mac, Linux, Win32) (code should be easy ! - no twain)
• coming per Email/Inbox from other doctors/hospital

• docs have
  • a type
  • a category (see also the Category plugin)
  • a status
  • a priority
  • a synthesis text (see also the TextEditor plugin)
  • an owner (user)
  • rights restriction (please ask on the mailing list)
  • can be crypted and/or protected by password

• docs can
  • be various file format
    • PDF, GIF, JPG…
  • be printed with or w/o synthesis text and informations as described above
  • be OCR'ed (multiOs purpose → CuneiForm)

• available opensource libs / projects
  • PDF: Poppler
  • EDF: EDFBrowser
