I mostly agree, yet I think many small businesses would benefit from a simple inventory management system. My own business would have for that matter. And while inventory is not strictly accounting it would make gnucash a viable option to quite a few extra small businesses. So I'm in two minds with respect to inventory support and have been for quite a while. In the past I envisioned implementing it myself (reusing certain parts of the existing code and adding the missing bits) but for various reasons shifted to other priorities. If someone would step in to write it, I would still support the effort though. Payroll on the other hand is not my cup of tea and likely more targeted at larger businesses. More generally, we can certainly use more hands to carry gnucash forward. So Stephen your offer to lend us a hand is highly appreciated :) Regards, Geert _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
