Muslim, You wrote on your comment to Ngewi's proposal: > Also it is very important that you understand how import/export in GnuCash > works and QIF file format. Because this is the main purpose of the GnuCash > mobile application. You know that there is no export from Gnucash, right? The export menu items write a chart of accounts to an empty Gnucash file or, on reports, write out the HTML from the report to file. If Ngewi's (or Atul's, if he gets around to writing a proposal) app is to get information from Gnucash I think that the only option is for it to parse the XML data file. On a related note, Marina Zhurakhinskaya (one of the Gnome admins) is commenting on all proposals that don't have a pointer to an existing contribution. Do either Atul or Ngewi have the C experience to knock out a couple of bugs? It's not really germane to their proposals, because those will be written in Java, but it seems to be a Gnome GSoC requirement.
