Check out the Gnucash "Project Goals" page (follow the link on the
Gnucash page).

It is certainly my intention to avoid making a mess of the interface. I
suspect even if I tried, Dave or Linas or the other developers would
squash my attempt is rather short order anyway... :-).

Personally I would like it to be a module. My machine doesn't have much
memory or processor power and I am concerned to keep it usable for my
purposes.
What actually eventuates (if anything) depends on the interfaces
available and the ability to do the stuff I need within them.

If people say "No, not yet. Gnucash isn't ready for that yet", then I'll
find another solution to my problem. It just seemed logical to support
Gnucash development if I could.

Conrad.
