[GNC] Paying for transaction report customizations

Hi all,

I made some simple customizations to the Transaction report under 2.x
that I unfortunately don't have the time to reimplement for 3.x and 4.x,
so I'm writing to ask if anyone on the list would be willing to
implement these for me if I pay them. I'd be happy for the result to be
licensed under the GPL.

I can explain what I need fairly succinctly: I use this custom report
exclusively on a single asset bank account (the "target account") for a
given calendar month (the "report month").

The necessary customizations are:

  * Adding three new columns to the report:
     1. Customer name - will be empty except for transactions between
        the target account and an A/Receivable, in which case it will
        show the customer name associated with the invoice for to the
        accounts receivable transaction.
     2. Job number - same as previous but the Job Number associated with
        the invoice, if any
     3. Balance - the balance of the target account following the
        transaction
  * The ability to rename column headings, including the three mentioned
    above (something like to what you can do in the Tax Invoice under
    the Headings Options)

Other non-essential changes that would be helpful if they are relatively
easy to implement:

  * Adding a subtitle to the report indicating the report month in words
    in the appropriate locale (e.g. "May 2019", although I'll be using
    the report in French so it would be "mai 2019")
  * Support for an arbitrary css file (like you can do for the Tax
    Invoice report in its Display Options)
  * Ability to reorder the columns (or just choose a fixed order
    different from the existing default)
  * Under general options: instead of a start date and end date, just
    pick the calendar month that you want to use
  * Add an extra row at the start of the report that is empty except
    that it gives the opening balance of the target account at the start
    of the month

If anyone wants to send a quote for how much they might charge for this,
or if you have ideas of anywhere else I could solicit help with it,
please just let me know.

Thanks!

Macho
