Summer of Code Projects to Work on

[Elise Scher]

Hi Christian,
    Well maybe I could still implement the online money transfer in all of
your OFX libraries. It would just take longer than 12 weeks. I am ok with
that. I have seen some online Noisebridge hackerspace discussions about
Wells Fargo Bank and gnucash. I have a small account with Wells Fargo Bank
here in California. I will send a seperate email quoting same.

Thanks,
Elise
