Challenging python coders: Who can create a gnucash-like GUI in python in a few weeks?

[Phil Longstaff]

If android is just java, then we should try wrapping the back end using JNI.

That's somewhat conflicting: Android is Java: Portable, but looks crappy on 
everything else. Might require rewriting the backend in Java, too. Apple's iOS 
is Objective-C native, but I think that Qt supports it and I know that wxWidgets 
does, so the C backend with a C++ frontend will work.
