Would you consider helping out with an accounting system written in Gtk, Python and PostgreSQL? I started it for my own benefit and would collaborate with other individuals. It has invoicing, purchase orders, and a time clock, but needs work and more ambition.

You might consider publishing some way for prospective collaborators to reach you (github, email, …).

"pygtk-posting" has no provisions for split ledger entries (i.e. entries on more than two accounts).

This is one of the things Gnucash gets right. Check out their transaction/split data structure.

git pushed...

Uhm... just to clarify, I am not looking for more work. I have a lot of features I would like to implement that I would use, not counting all the features people have already told me I should add ;-)

I posted here because it seemed like this is a fairly recent conversation. I thought maybe some of these people would be interested in helping and/or collaborating. If you really want to help or influence the direction of PyGtk Posting, please contact me through email or start a new discussion here https://sourceforge.net/p/pygtk-posting/discussion/

I will not clutter LWN with random noise, therefore consider this my last post here.
