We discussed working on the topic at Friday's meeting but got a bit
sidetracked helping out some new volunteers. But one thing we discussed
was creating a semantic category for medical packages on the Directory.
There's quite a few (medical returns about 50 results in search), so
perhaps a category would be helpful. If you'd like to dive in, create a
project team on
<https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:Participate/Project_Team>
and make yourself captain.

Of course, any work on medical packages would be a good idea, so if you
just want to get in there and add new or update existing packages that
would be great.
