Oooops. Did you think by saying "QOF" we mean the separate QOF project at 
sourceforge.net? We are very sorry for this misunderstanding. No, the 
separate QOF project at sourceforge is a fork from gnucash that forked in 
April this year, and it has been diverging into a different development path. 
Its code will not work with gnucash anymore and vice very.

Instead, by QOF we mean the general idea of the query-object-framework, whose 
code currently is in lib/libqof/ in the gnucash repository (it might be moved 
to src/libqof/ sometime in the future, but the place in the repository isn't 
too important). Again: The external QOF project at sourceforge.net does not 
work with gnucash and the only similarity is that it's a fork from the 
gnucash code by the beginning of this year. So its mailing list also has no 
use for the development gnucash right now. 

All discussion of the QOF concept related to gnucash are going on here on 
gnucash-devel, and all the source code is in the gnucash repository below 
lib/libqof/.

I hope this clears up this issue. Regards,

Christian
