Re: Using LibreOffice for Documentation

Git can automatically unpack the zips and do the needful on this raw XML. Apparently. https://tante.cc/2010/06/23/managing-zip-based-file-formats-in-git/ On Sep 4, 2015 8:26 AM, "Mike Evans" wrote: > On Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:48:16 +0200 > Geert Janssens

Re: Someone is attempting to sell GnuCash.

As just a home user, its unlikely your accounting package could lead you down a path to tax trouble. It follows well established (international) accounting practices. Gnucash isn't going to advise you on weird Cap-Gains claims or moving losses forward over years at all, let alone in a way

Re: For The Love Of Bitcoin

When making an argument, you need to highlight what is important to the listener, not to you. There is a reasonable workaround to day to use Bitcoin with Gnucash. Developers need to do absolutely nothing. Bitcoin should not be included because it isn't a real currency. Gnucash is not a political

Re: For The Love Of Bitcoin

Price quotes are fetched using an external library, specifically the Perl module Finance::Quote (F::Q). Quoting it's manual: module gets stock quotes from various internet sources, including Yahoo! Finance, Fidelity Investments, and the Australian Stock Exchange It would be relatively easy to add

Re: For The Love Of Bitcoin

Well, the 400 line solution really hooks into the otherwise normal processes of GNC... Redefining currency is a larger problem, which I would guess at requiring a total rewrite off all accounting programs everywhere. But how valuable this would be is an open question. For a scenario where the

Re: Strategy

As with Donald, I haven't contributed any code, but I would tend to agree that there is a problem. A rewrite from scratch is a drastic solution to that not quite as drastic problem. The roadmap on the Wiki is more like a wishlist, and the schedule is, well, non existent. Sorry, I see that there

Re: GnuCash Dev teams

Replying, also not as a dev, but a mostly lurker on the list. The issue with OSS projects is that while some project level vision/strategy/goals/direction is very helpful (and I think GNUCash could improve on), on the day-to-day level, developers pick and choose based on their own personal

Re: Future of Gnucash

I had a long, rambling message, but I'll summarize. Please excuse the bluntness. I'm not a Gnucash developer, but could be. My opinions might be technically wrong, and make me a self-destructive asshole, but I'm happy with that. The question shouldn't be C++ or not, but what is the best

Re: i need access to the gnucash source code and a recommendation of a good IDE

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows seems to have what (little) Windows specific development documentation there is. It doesn't mention any specific IDE. I really have no idea, but I would guess that most Gnuchash developers are using something which might be what comes to mind when one thinks

Re: Announcing a new sub-project in gnucash: GUI in C++, Qt, CMake.

Granting that I have less then no right to question an experiment, I am wondering if you have considered other possible bindings. I find it especially curious that you picked not just C++, but Qt (KDE), whereas Gnucash is a Gnome (or at least GTK) app now. Anyway... I note that Javascript is an

Hi all.. I dont know where this idea fits in the grand scheme of things, but Ive come up with what would definitly help me, and probabaly others.. Weekly we do a deposit here in the office.. At that point I record income from sources moving into the 'office' account, and then moving money
