in thread (OT) Perl Open Source accounting packages?
Total vaporware as of now.
But I wanted to see what already existed in open source that could be scavenged, to implement this. The first thing that would be needed is a multi user general ledger with a web interface.
For candidates I wound up with just sql-ledger, which is unfortunately is not the most robust code, and Compiere, which runs on java and requires oracle.
Neither of these sounded real appealing. I did like the rich/reach (windows widget/web) idea of Compiere, but it runs reeeal slow and has too much overhead to factor just the general ledger stuff out of it. (Even if I knew java, which I don't.)
Martin Bramwell is putting together an open source package he calls CACH (Community Automated Clearing House), which I am also very interested in. He said he was aiming to release in March, but unfortunately until then there's no public information about it online.
I don't know if your work would be helpful in this regard, but I would be interested in learning more about what you are doing, and maybe beta testing it if you need anyone.
