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.
Cheers,
Ngewi

Great news! Congratulations!
Can you please write a short summary of what your project is
aiming at? I would like to use it as the first post on the google
page of GnuCash [1] just to test it and see if it gets momentum.
Thanks for your time and good luck on your project.
Regards
Cristian

I just got the mail that my proposal was accepted to GSOC 2012.
Thanks to the mentors and the community for the support
through the
application process.
I am looking forward to the coding work ahead.
Cheers,

After doing a crash course in QFX, I have written
a small module for
outputting expenses in the OFX format which was
proposed as a better
alternative to the QIF format.
The code can be found here:

I am grateful for any feedback.
This is very good! The code looks clean, with a
sufficiently detailed
architecture to actually see the working code and
producing valid OFX.
Obviously you have some good experience with Android
Java programming!
The way
you are re-using the existing frameworks (e.g. Java
Arraylist,
org.w3c.dom,
and javax.xml Transformer) is very good.
After seeing that code, I would strongly recommend to
write the expense
tracker in Android Java, as you initially proposed. It
seems to me you
will be
able to get some usable Android prototype running very
quickly. You
should
then be able to ensure that the interfacing between
the Android app and
the
actual gnucash data file works really well. With this
code example, I'd
say
you have a very very high chance to succeed with your
complete proposal!
Thanks a lot.
Christian,
I took the liberty of copying the first paragraph to a
comment on Ngewi's
proposal for the benefit of the Gnome folks. I hope you
don't mind.
Regards,
John Ralls
