<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have no opinion about using scheme or not for anything, but if there are folks who want to get rid of it; we can evaluate the use of XSLT as a templating engine. I've used it and it's okay but I suspect that eguile is much more flexible.<BR>

:) Good question. In my ideal world, we would remove it entirely and<BR>
find a different, light-weight templating system for the reports ...<BR>
something like Template-Toolkit. At the same time, my list was my<BR>
opinion only. and a little rushed... others don't have quite the desire<BR>
for scheme-elimination that I do. :)<BR>
<BR>
My major objection to the prevalence of scheme in gnucash is in other<BR>
locations than the reporting. I could certainly see scheme being<BR>
removed everywhere *but* the templating of the reports via eguile. As<BR>
well, we could have more than one mechanism for templating reports,<BR>
especially if the bulk of the reports were already in one technology.<BR>
<BR>
I don't think there's a high probability of it being removed w/in a<BR>
year, were it to occur.<BR>
