Accounting is a tedious and boring task, and if we contracted external professionals, quite a lot of costs would occur - so thank you very much for taking this burden! I put the treasurer list on my todo, will set it up these days. Poke me if I forget.

Sadly gnucash scripting is Scheme-based (yuck), so I use a second FLOSS project called jgnucashlib (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jgnucashlib/) for scriptable tasks - as of today, for the PayPal transaction import, since that's where the bulk of the movement happens (currently ~10-20 per day). Taken all together, I think a suitable choice for our entity - and hopefully flexible and portable enough that it can be handed over and/or shared easily. Up to now, mostly Florian and me have collected invoices, filed them, and did the budget planning. To permit sharing responsibilities there, and also to make it a bit easier for us to keep information together, I propose to setup a private treasurer@tdf mailing list. Budget updates, invoices, expense reports, and also board decisions regarding budget approvals then need to be sent to that list, such that we can accurately reflect them in the ledger.
