We'll be creating a section on health.gnu.org . Stallman has also
recommended to have a world map with the implementation cases. One way
I'm thinking on doing this is by having a voluntary form to fill, either
at health.gnu.org , or at installation time (health institution,
country, number of users, year,... )

We should not use Wikibooks for the success stories, since its
subjective nature goes against the Neutral Point of View (NPOV) of
the Wiki. 

What we can do, is to put a link at the community resources to this new
implementation cases page at health.gnu.org

Let me know your thoughts, and thank you both for the ideas !!

All the best,
Luis
