Just a bit of break from preparations for COMPUTER-expo 2001.

There is an 4-page introduction to GnuCash in the April 2001 issue of the
Linux Journal.  The first part is a tutorial that I will not repeat here,
but the last part talks about the future direction of GnuCash:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Further improvements to GnuCash's personal accounting abilites are planned
in the long term.  Some of these include:

* Improvements to on-line stock quote gathering and currency quotes.

* Interfacing to on-line banking, including OFX and other standards.

* Interfacing to Palm PDAs.

* Full documentation of the guile API to make writing extensions easy.

While GnuCash's current emphasis is on personal accounting, the large
number of requests for business accounting functionality we receive on the
mailing list are not being ignored.  GnuCash will form the basis of a
full-featured, mulituser accounting package with a database engine, CORBA
bindings, and support for payroll, inventory, invoicing and the other
features that larger businesses require from accounting systems.  
Gnumatic will be in the forefront of this, offering its services to
customize and support GnuCash or specific customers, industries and
countries.

Interesting, no?
