Multiple simultaneous users requires that the application run under the 
control of a DBM (database manager).

That's a project all unto itself, and I don't know if there is an open 
source project to provide a DBM for the database(s) gnucash might use. 
Probably not. It would be far beyond the scope of any single application 
(that might use the particular database) to be responsible for the DBM.

To make clear what I am saying, I do understand why you might want 
gnucash (using say SQL to store the data) to have a facility to handle 
simultaneous multiple users. But THAT part of it wouldn't be (just) for 
gnucash but for ANY application using SQL to store its data.
