Hi, My name is Ngewi Fet and I am a PhD student from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany. ( http://codinguser.com )
I am interested contributing to Gnucash through the GSOC 2012, in particular the Android expense tracker application. I have done some Android programming as part of my studies and I usually also like to track my expenses in real time (i.e. when I am actually spending the money). I have read the description on the Wiki page http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GSoC2012#Google_Summer_of_Code_2012 and I am very interested in the project. I have a question about the description in the wiki. It says "You will also learn how to allow users to configure multiple credit cards and bank accounts into the Android application". Is this supposed to mean that the mobile app should be able to synchronize with bank accounts? Also, here ( http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GSoC-2012-Ideas-GnuCash-Android-application-td4438360.html) it says that the app should target API level 4 - 15. Looking at Android platform versions, API level 4 is about 0.8% of the total install base with access to the market. I would suggest to target API level 7 and above since there are significant API changes which were made in the Android 2.x series. Just a suggestion and I would like to hear opinions on it. I have some ideas for the application and I look forward to working with the community to advance Gnucash for the mobile platform. Cheers, Ngewi _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
