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,
        Ngewi

                    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:
                    https://github.com/codinguser/OfxModule

                    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
