Hehe, thanks.  It seams you are pritty well with the hardships one has
to take when testing a software without a user-friendly installation
utility.
I know it might have been a bit tough to follow the INSTALL
instructions, but we have tryed our level best to make it as simple as
possible.

The ledgers and tryal balance comes in ods format (spreadsheets being
read-only ).
You are right we have almost come on the verge of starting the web app
based client.

Actually our approach is a thin client and all that the client will do
is to make calls o the published API on the xmlrpc server layer which
has to core logic.
So we are following the Pure MVC structure.  As a result the core of
GNUKhata is nothing but a service which provides the core API which can
be used from any programming language which can do rpc (and almost every
language does).
So writing a QT based client, or a web application that renders the
forms and the data is easy because all that you do is make calls to the
server side API which has the core logic ready made for you.

We can import csv and so perhaps tally data can be imported?
