all true - http://avsap.sourceforge.net <--- pretty old now, but in about 6-7 languages. frankly i got frustrated as a lot of people were very enthusiastic about helping/contributing until it actualy came to the point of doing work ... I have rewritten the underlying accounting engine, a demo of which can be seen at http://avsap.org.in (note, this demo is in plone, but no way is avsap ever going to be in plone)

ok - fair enough, question is: does the next avatar need to be gui or web? The underlying engine can support either or both. And incidently, the reason why progress is stalled is that i lack accounting domain knowledge to proceed - some one said, give me a lever and i will overturn the world. I say, give me an accountant and i will produce a kick-ass FA package.

an accountant who can be hired is unlikely to be able to have the depth of domain knoowledge to guide a killer FA app. We have a killer team in Abhishek+Saswata - they have the knowledge, the interest - only problem is how to get the horse to drink the water ;-)

Last time the horse went to drink the water but could not figure out how to drink. I still cant understand how to work with the cvs stuff in windows. Now with the team working from Mumbai it would be a different matter. At least I hope so.

Sometime Today, KG cobbled together some glyphs to say:

build web apis to do individual tasks, and build a web app that runs over it. open the apis so third parties can build their own desktop/mobile/command line apps that use it.
why progress is stalled is that i lack accounting domain knowledge to proceed

Same here. Got all the deps and everything working until i had to switch mobos and disk for a new project and completely forgot about it. Right now in the thick of a banking project with usual bandits screaming about the greatness of M$. But i am steadly gaining ground. But i am going to start again. Solemn promise KG. There is a hughe opportunity for everyone here. And KG do flame me if i am not doing my bit (honest - if u want me to work).
