> I hope it's fine for you to send patches based on what is now in gnucash SVN.
We'll make it happen. > Thanks a lot for this work! Thank you for the commit, I'm excited. Now that I'm exposed to a larger number of users and developers, I can look forward to a higher volume of emails with bug reports, requests for documentation, and kudos. There goes my summer! Would it make sense to add a python bindings section in Bugzilla here:? http://bugzilla.gnome.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=GnuCash I would also like to give credit to Assiniboine Credit Union (http://www.assiniboine.mb.ca Winnipeg, Canada), which has funded a good chunk of our work on this through a grant they gave us in 2007. Additional python binding work since between June 17 and December 31, 2008 is being funded by a second grant they gave us this year. I've attached three patches, and would appreciate it if one and only one of the three were applied. All three of them change Jeff's email address from his gmail account to his parit account. He was working on this on ParIT's time, ParIT's dime, so this also acknowledges our contribution as an organization. This change and only this change can be found in jeff_is_parit_in_AUTHORS.patch To acknowledge Assiniboine Credit Union, I've attached acu_credit_with_paritistas.patch, it adds to the Mark and Jeff lines in AUTHORS: """Python bindings, with grant funding from Assiniboine Credit Union (http://assiniboine.mb.ca/)""" . I realize that this deviates from the style of the other entries in AUTHORS, and will understand if it isn't an acceptable change. As an alternative, acu_credit_separate.patch leaves the Mark and Jeff lines untouched (except for the @parit.ca change), and gives ACU their own line: """Assiniboine Credit Union <http://assiniboine.mb.ca> Provided grant funding for Python bindings""" This is probably a bad idea, as ACU isn't an author, so giving them a line is semantically incompatible with a file named AUTHORS. Would work if it were called CREDITS. -------------- This is off topic, but you're probably wondering how on earth we convinced a credit union to help pay for this. It helps that we have more than python bindings on the brain, but ways to actually use them: http://www.parit.ca/software/pscproject.2008-04-22.9244157838 http://www.parit.ca/software/pscproject.2008-04-22.6725154212 http://www.parit.ca/software/pscproject.2008-04-16.4762043942 http://www.parit.ca/software/pscproject.2008-04-21.9636009485 Expect more announcements on the above as we gear up.. We also pencilled in 30 hours this year for Jeff to inch the register rewrite forward, send him you ideas.. The credit union wanted to know how our work could contribute to at least one of the guiding principals of Social Inclusion, Economic Self Reliance, Ecological Responsibility, or Community Building. We claimed in our grant application that free software meets all four """ Social Inclusion Non-free software marginalizes everyone and disproportionately excludes people with low incomes. Free software is inclusive and participatory; all can use, all can share, all can change. Anyone can access free software through disc sharing and if available, the Internet. Economic Self Reliance Free software users are not dependent on the original developer for changes, nor likely to experience getting locked out of their own data or be unable to incorporate changes in law. Improvements, as well as software error fixes, can be made by local programmers getting direct feedback from SME users. Ecological Responsibility Computer hardware turnover, and the problem of e-waste, is mostly due to increasing resource demands from software. Free software is typically developed to reduce hardware demands. ParIT develops and tests its work on five year old computers, which encourages sensible resource usage. Community Building Free software is community infrastructure. Community minded individuals are not forced to choose between respect for copyright and goodwill; sharing of free software is permitted and encouraged. ParIT expects its work to be widely copied, leading to the establishment of other local support providers and community support networks. These situations encourage further community co-operation for development. """ Mark
