Is OFXHome Permanently Dead?

[Jesse R. Becker]

Daniel,

I also consider myself an outsider, but wondered a year or two ago if I
should donate some time and resources to help keep ofxhome.org alive. From
my perspective, Gnucash would be about a perfect piece of software for me
if the Online Banking feature was more robust and easier to use. It seemed
to me that working on OFX would be a good place to start on improving the
Online Banking feature.

I researched this a bit but concluded that OFX is losing
popularity (especially, here, in the U.S.), and FDX is becoming more
popular, so I gave up. I am, however, not giving up on doing what I can to
improve the Online Banking feature.

I would like to have a discussion on OFX, if Gnucash intends to keep this
standard, and what we could do to improve Online Banking.
