gnucash-devel Digest, Vol 131, Issue 21

[Elise Scher]

I would like to help with the project on a part-time basis.
I know a bit of C, having written some small programs in C.
My English is very good. I grew up in Massachusetts and live near Stanford
University.
I would like to learn and help, please.

Sincerely,
Elise L. Scher
