I'm happy to work with you guys on this project, however my program writing
capability is almost zero :((
I can offer my inspiration for design and determination of the way of this
development.
My first suggestion:
Simplify accounting method (just like in Quicken). If you have further goal:
you can develope gnucash for business people also, but this would be another
separate project!
If you want to reach almost everybody who is using a checkbook, you should
think as their head.
My question for now: I see a KDE version when I ./configure gnucash 1.1.27. Is
it a reliable version, yet? Can I compile it despite of my Lesstiff version
running.
Thanks:
Steve
