Hi, I'm reading old, stale email.

I think the thread conclcuded that 'gnucash won't do this" but in fact, I beg to differ. The genericizing work that I'm doing now opens the door to this, although at the current rate of development, this is years away. This is a good example of where people really do want this kind of customizability, and my opaque diatribes about dwi and qof and what-not all tie into this. FWIW, Derek Neighbors gets it: gnue is trying to build the generic framework first, and an accounting app on top of it later. I'm doing the opposite: got the accounting app, now trying to build the generic framwork. Same goal, different paths. Evolutionary convergence is the bio term. --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
