I certainly agree with it...but, not being GC coder myself cannot complain much if something is not implemented. > In those cases where the "real user needs" can be fulfilled by > relatively simple implementations, I'd like to see those > implementations be added to gnucash.

I didn't put my votes on that list, but having needs for some more business- related features which could help freelancers, let me mention two items which *might* be helpful and not too hard to implement: 1) Proforma (quotation) invoices http://gnucash.uservoice.com/suggestions/1758239 This could be very useful addition eliminating the need to use 3rd party (mostly web-based) PHP apps to do it 'cause GC is already doing the major part. 2) user-generated custom reports http://gnucash.uservoice.com/suggestions/2381349 Ability to make it easier for end-user to tweak/customize reports, mostly for invoices has been a topic discussed quite often. I know there is e-guile, but it seems it never expanded much. Otoh, there are some attempts to solve it (it via Python bindings), and I must say that, yes, I consider python more user-friendly for end-user... The two possible solutions which may need some more work are: a) https://github.com/n1ywb/jeffs-gnucash-utils b) https://github.com/loftx/gnucash-rest so I wonder if there is some interest to take those ideas and develop them further to bring some more report customization capabilities to GC for 2.6?
