I'm VERY concerned about the potential for confusion in packaging gnucash from trunk. I think it's perfectly fine for you to use it yourself, but I think it would be a horrible idea to package trunk in any semi-public way. I think it's dangerous and most likely to confuse users. What you should argue for is a "rapid timeline to 2.4", which is a perfectly reasonable request to make. The question that would be asked is, "is making gnucash work for german businesses a sufficient step to warrant a 2.4 release, or should we want for some other feature to complete, too, like the SQL work?" -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
