Am ccing gnucash-devel, as its relevant. especially the part at bottom.
This is a discussion about gtt (http://www.linas.org/linux/gtt/gtt.html) On Wed, Nov 28, 2001 at 03:29:41PM -0500, Derek Atkins was heard to remark: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Linas Vepstas) writes: > > Yes, although there was no way to put task notes into an invoice; I just > > fixed this a wwek or two ago in cvs. I don't remember if you can > > display project notes or not ... > > This is partly why I'd like an integrated contact list. I agree. Its just that evolution is one kick-butt contact manager, it just blows everything else out of the water (at least on linux. We still don't have act! or other comparable windows s/w on linux). So its painful to think of trying to code up some home-grown contact maanger when this really excellent tool is already available... > It would also > be nice to be able to post out to Gnucash A/R as well :) Yes. One way would be to export gnucash-format files, but gnucash cannot do incremental imports. Or we could export qif :-( Or we could debate about programming API's ... I suppose it would not hurt to start making the gtt engine look like a gnucash extension ... with several difficult downsides: -- gtt has a gnome-14 stable branch, which I want to keep 'stable', and a gnome-20 branch, which won't compile except with gnome 2.0. So what to do ??? -- dependencies. Having gtt use GNCId.h makes gtt (and thus, gnome utils) dependent on gnucash. And that, is, well, frightening. Unlike many other gnome software, gnucash does not yet have dpkg's/rpm's for libgnucash, libgnucash-dev, etc. Maybe this problem is in fact a bellwether for the gnucash extension system: The day that it becomes 'easy' and 'non-frightening' to integrate gtt with gnucash is the day that the extension mechanism is a success. We are still far off from that point... --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933
