Summer of Code for Cutecash or adding features to GnuCash project

[Christian Stimming]

Dear Vladimir,

thank you for your interest in working with gnucash in the GSoC 2011 program. 
It is good to hear you've been able to build it from source, and you've been 
using the program for quite some time already.

As for your project: Well, it's up to you to choose the  project that is most 
interesting to you, as this will imply your application will have the highest 
chance of being accepted by Google.

This third point can be turned into a full GSoC project by claiming you will 
"expand gnucash to enable cost forecast, integrated with the budgeting 
feature, improving all of the existing parts of it along the way". This will 
require writing some reporting code which is currently in Scheme language but 
might be possible in python in the future, and also some coding in C/gtk.

To try cutecash, just follow the instructions from 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Cutecash . Again, the project is up to you. You 
can pick a project from the programming environment that's most fun to you. 
E.g., if you think you enjoy Qt the most, I would indeed suggest to try the 
cutecash code again and see whether you can add enough features so that it's a 
"lightweight, easy & fast" data entry possibility in addition to the normal 
gnucash program.

Sure. Just keep in mind it is not us who decide about the acceptance, but 
instead the Google staff on the basis of your application.

Best Regards,

Christian
