Hey this is great and that starting point is good. Reviewing it now.... Looks like Bkuhn was also doing some work here in the ledger repository on Github. https://github.com/ledger/ledger/tree/next/contrib/non-profit-audit-reports
I wonder if it makes sense to merge the progress from https://k.sfconservancy.org/NPO-Accounting/npo-ledger-cli <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fk.sfconservancy.org%2FNPO-Accounting%2Fnpo-ledger-cli&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEp2069OybTvmdiQ2z6NN5VNroc7A> to the GitHub repository? Anyways, I have only recently started maintaining my own code on Github, never contributed to a project. What is the protocol here? Fork the codebase and start working like bkuhn did here *tree/next/contrib/non-profit-audit-reports* or start a new repository? Back to the question at hand with the Chart of Accounts. I have* attached a deep chart of accounts * *fund_accounts.dat* with codes that I created but I am hesitant to start using it as it seems a bit verbose. I am not yet too familiar with the MetaData Tagging "tags" but perhaps these can be used to show Program Level and/or Grant Related Revenues and Expenditures.
