Hi Cristian, thanks. Here is a short (edited) version of the abstract. Let me know if you need anything else.
The goal of this proposal is the development of a GNUcash Android > application which allows users to track expenses on-the-go and later on > import the expenses into the desktop version of GNUcash. This will enable > users to have more complete oversight of their expenditures by including > expenses which were made in cash transcations. The Android application will > be able to export the recorded expenses in the Open Financial Exchange > (OFX) format which is also supported by the desktop version of GNUcash.
