Pierre, Thank you for the inclusion. I seem to be entering this in the middle of a conversation, but am happy to contribute as may be possible for developing a legitimate and easy to use nonprofit CRM and Fund Accounting solution.

Nonetheless, I'm excited at the prospect, Wayne On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 7:05 PM, Pierre Smits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > As ASF acts as a nonprofit organisation and I recently saw a request in de > User ML by Wayne Burke regarding implementations in non-profit organisations > there is an opportunity here to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. > > One is the enhancement of the CRM module and the other is the, when > properly documented, the implementation.
