Martin (B.), thanks a bunch for this overview of beancount, it has been
very interesting and instructive for me!

I'm currently using ledger + hledger for maintaining my family's
transactions myself (using ledger) and making all details accessible to
my family (using hledger), and I'm finding the solution quite hackish
and not very satisfiable.

Given your description here, and after looking briefly at beancount's
source code, I think using ledger + beancount's web interface has the
potential of being a much better solution. If so, I'd be happy to give
the converter a shot. However, I'd like to give a "serious" try to
beancount's web interface and that's not easy to do without the ledger
-> beancount converter --- that's a bit of a catch 22.

Do you have anywhere, or are you aware of the existence of, a "demo"
instance of beancount's web interface, possibly with more than just a
couple of sample postings?  I think that would be very useful for many
potential users.

And thanks a bunch for beancount!
Cheers.
