Zitat von "Dave (DavesTechShop.net)" <d...@davestechshop.net>:
The concept is about aggregating all one's financial data in one place. So
the tool downloads it from all the various financial institutions one deals
with and then uploads it to wasabe so the user can see a complete financial
picture in one place. So, yes, it is about uploading the data to wesabe.com.
In my version, it would download the data from all the different places and
then import it into GnuCash (and optionally upload it to wesabe).
Judging by your question, Martin, I assume you have missed all the "front
page" news in the US about Mint.com, Yodlee.com, Quicken Oniine, Wesabe,
etc.
Judging by the wording of this remark of you, it didn't occur to you
that other people on this list (including Martin and incidentally also
me) don't live in the U.S., which means we're dealing with a
fundamentally different system of banks and also a fundamentally
different way of doing financial issues somewhere online.
For example, in Germany, any bank that offers "online banking"
features will also have to offer the possibility to initiate money
transfer online. Hence, if I hand over my online banking information
to any other entity besides my bank, I easily run into the risk that
this other entity owns the information sufficient to initiate a money
transfer from my account to somewhere else. Hence, the idea of
uploading my financial information to some other website doesn't sound
like a good idea in this country.
I'll comment on your actual feature proposal in a separate message.

Christian Stimming
Personally, I'd like to see GnuCash offer the best of what all those new
online financial services offer on top of the solid foundation that GnuCash
already is. I think a Firefox add-on like what we're discussing would
accomplish exactly that.

Hi,
just a question: Is this wesabe approach really about *uploading* (!)
personal
financial data to their website?? Who would do something like that??
Regards
Martin
