Hi Nitish, Welcome in the GnuCash community. Your project looks very interesting. I don't have much Qt coding experience myself (next to none actually), but I'll probably check your work from time to time and perhaps can learn some from it as well ;)
I wish you a very enjoyable experience while working on your project. Regards, Geert On dinsdag 24 mei 2011, Nitish wrote: > Dear developers, > > I would like to introduce myself. I am Nitish.
