if i didnt believe your accounts are transparent, i would not have made 
this suggestion. Apart from the purely selfish motive of promoting my 
own software (which you have pointed out and i plead guilty to it) my 
main motivation is to show that this can be done securely in a live 
situation with live accounts, which will give amunition for free 
software advocates and egov advocates who can pressurise govt depts to 
put their accounts up live. Imagine, for example, a municipal contract 
for road repair, where every item of expenditure is put up live! The 
road may last more than the usual three months. Since as far as I know, 
ilugd is the only lug india which is registered - so the market for my 
sales pitch is restricted!

As for security, i feel it is do-able. I personally know of chartered 
accounts abroad who maintain their clients accounts using sql-ledger in 
this manner.
