Chris, Since I started having a need for a real accounting system again and, at the time, it looked like nothing much was happening with LSMB, I had started to look at PostBooks - the only other significant Postgres-based system available as far as I can see (other than SQLL). Then when LSMB seemed to have a resurgence of interest and development work I started doing test installs of it - I REALLY want a substantially based RPM based install - I think this is a top commercial priority. I have been doing this for some time now and appear to be close to a working system . . but not quite. I think the priority of LSMB should be a seamlessly, painlessly installable version of 1.3 . Don't get me wrong - I think that the forward planning you have been doing is great but starting work on the NEXT version when the current version is not really usable (as far as I can see) is not appropriate.
Just my 2c worth . . Regards, Phil.
