Dear Martin,

I'd like to remind you of the start of this discussion. Your initial  
questions were "Where can I start?  Would this be easy on the gnucash  
side," and we've answered that. We've pointed out those possibilities  
that we consider "easy on the gnucash side". Other possibilities exist  
but are definitely not easy.

Your current statement rather goes towards "I don't like the way  
gnucash works currently; can we change it to xyz", and, as you might  
guess, this is answered by  
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Why_don.27t_you_rewrite_GnuCash_in_programming_language_xyz_so_that_I_can_contribute_easily.3F

Regards,

Christian
