Hi all, I wanted to maintain accounts of our small FOSS firm. Currently the accounts are being maintained by an external accountant in Tally.
I want to start maintaining them in-house (hopefully myself) and in my research I found Kalculate as a promising alternative. But looks like you are better off with GNUCash. Here are my reservations on Kalculate: 1. It is not Free software in any sense. There is no 'community edition' either. Just an evaluation edition. 2. The last release of Kalculate seemed to be in 2006 - http://openlx.com/download.php 3. I do not seem to be able to download from here: http://kalculate.com/download.php 4. Don't know if it is keeping up with changes in accounting standards. Looks like the co. is dormany/hibernating. I sent them and email - lets see if they respond. 5. The only connection with Free Software is that it runs on Linux and they have some OpenLX distro but Kalculate itself is NOT under and 'Free' license - GPL/Apache/MIT.... I am currently trying out GNUCash. This should be interesting - I do not really know the difference between voucher and invoice. If anyone is planning a GPL alternative to Tally (accounting ONLY and not ERP), please talk to me. I should be able to provide support. kc -- K. C.
