Online banking

[Paul Tirk]

Hello!

I was thinking about adding online banking support for a bank which has 
no HBCI (and is not supported by AqBanking). After some time browsing 
the source of gnucash and AqBanking I realized that the online banking 
functionality of gnucash is tightly coupled to AqBanking which in turn 
has a restricted license and it actually doesn't look easy to add 
different banks.

Are there plans on a clean online banking API in gnucash which could 
enable developers to include different banking protocols? If not I would 
be interested in contributing but I have no idea where to start. Could 
somebody maybe give me a hint about this?

My idea would be: the current menu entries for online banking are fine, 
it would just need a general user/account setup which could allow the 
current AqBanking accounts as well as other "plugins/modules" which can 
then be triggered as it is working right now with only AqBanking.

I hope I made myself clear and thanks in advance,

Paul
