Hi, Simon. I doubt the name is a serious marketing problem. The way I search for new software is apt-cache search, and I suspect most other command line users to whom Ledger would appeal also have a way to search easily-installable packages for their system. Anyone who searches for "accounting" on Debian will find Ledger. I suspect Ledger's real marketing problem, if you can call it that, is that people aren't searching for command line accounting software---probably because most people already have a ton of data entered into one accounting system or another before they learn to crave the flexibility of text files and command line processing. Most (all?) command line based projects I know don't do any official marketing and I don't think that's a problem. I suspect the best way to promote your favorite command line software is to mention it, when appropriate, at user groups and on mailing lists filled with command line lovers. -Dave -- David A.
