Accounting systems: a rant and a questAccounting systems: a rant and a questPosted May 8, 2012 21:29 UTC (Tue) by boog (subscriber, #30882)Parent article: Accounting systems: a rant and a quest

Surely just a couple of awk scripts with a php front end :-)
So what we need as the first follow-up article is detailed specifications of exactly what a small business *needs* in an accounting package. Then the many time-rich LWN readers can start a number of competing projects to implement a system meeting those needs in the hope of being featured in a subsequent article. And then .... profit!
