thrown open ?

Apologies for the delayed reply.
As a part of the exercise, I had enquired about availability
of financial application packages developed for Linux boxes.
GnuCash and Sql-ledger were some packages, but I would like to
know whether someone had seen or developed applications on
MySQL/PHP (on thin clients, to reduce h/w cost overheads and
allow scope for thin devices). GnuCash doesn't use a backend
and Sql-Ledger uses PostgreSQL. I would also like to know
whether someone would contribute efforts towards this exercise
if I go ahead with the initial design and develop a prototype.
(I sure am against reinventing wheel)
FreeDevelopers.Net (India) are in the process of releasing a
accounting package written in python, postgress as the backend SQL,
web based reports and multiuser. The work on the package is not yet
completed. The documentation needs to be written, further polishing
work still remains and a few bugs need to be fixed.
The site of FreeDevelopers (India) <www.freedevelopers.co.in> is
also on the making. As soon as the site is ready, a prebeta of the
package will be released.
