Good luck. Knoda's developer AFAIK is no longer involved at all with the
project. I looked at knoda for a week once, and gave it up.
* there were questions, mostly without answers, on a mostly moribund mailing
list.
* it was version dependent on a particular library.
* the documentation was spotty.
I wanted something quick and simple. What I wanted was the equivalent of MS
Access.
It didn't have to be fast, but it did have to have multiple views for
separate data entry, and report generation. And it had to be fast to enough
to work with that I could throw together an inventory program in a day,
starting from scratch.
I still haven't found a linux package that can do this. So for now I run
access under windows in Virtual Box.
