I would strongly suggest coming back on topic. While many people see GNUKhata as a good replacement for tally, As JTD and many others noted, the way tally works technically and otherwise is totally different than GNUKhata.
At best you may want to create a data conversion utility.
And we don't want to just support typicle home users. We see medium to large organisations using it. Soon we will have a web based GNUKhata solution which will just need a browser to run it.
EXCELLENT.
So a separate deb package for server will be maintained. We will have it running like a web application so that clowd computing will also be possible with GNUKhata.
Your Demo problems are over ;-).
And as was pointed out time and time again, I won't like to keep comparing how tally is handling or not handling files. What matters for us is given the fact that we use a very high performance database server (postgresql), how we can further tune up the scalability and how thin the client can get.
Later on you shall take a general swipe at non RDBMS and closed systems as a marketing exercise while describing your strengths ;-)
"Katha uses a high performance RDBMS, which helps us scale whenever an individual customer is ready, unlike other products in the market which requires major reinvestment."
On the functional aspect, any good suggestion is wlecome.
Pick one or two ERP systems. Make Katha a part of that. You will have a killer.
Kartik and Siddhesh for example gave us very good ideas for packaging and thanks to them, they are at least not letting that discussion happen on this list (it is a focused discussion which *has* to happen on the gnukhata mailing list).
I am on that list ;-) and read all mails.
