To support this, the entire gnucash engine will have to be rewritten
to support some kind of database backend (and the front end will
also have to be substantially modified, as the current front end is
based around an in-place storage of data, with a dump of the entire
account structure when a save takes place).. This is a *big* project,
and it will be quite a while before it happens. Playing a major part
in this would do more than satisfy the requirements of any possible
undergraduate project I could think of - and this is even before
you've tackled the e-commerce extension.
One project I was going to tackle (but don't have time to ATM) is
adding support for importing stuff from Palm organisers. If that's
not big enough, how about adding support for CE organisers . . .
