[GNC] need help getting started

[Eric Hammond]

To the group,

A short intro: I have been a user of Quicken for the last 1000 years or so, they have gone from a business that cares about customers to .... not so much.
Late last year one of their updates lost or scrambled years of my business accounting data, and my backups. Their help line help was "we are so sorry..."

I discovered GnuCash in February this year and with a lot of very hard work and digging got almost all entries into it: the major journals balance.
Six months of digging, creating and importing .csv files and seeing what broke. And repeat.

I would like to convert my brute force AR and AP entries into the GnuCash format and have encountered some issues:
Importing from CSV to regular journals was tricky, but I got it done and balanced.
Is there any way to import the invoice data from CSV to the invoices-A/Receivables, and bills-A/Payables system and have the Posted and Paid flags set right?

In the distant past I programmed accounting systems in RPG. Some help there.

I have much programming experience (PC computers unfortunately) in C, C++, and Python: I would like to help with the project.
I need help finding out how to do this, I have not yet found such in the website maze.

And, how do I contribute the money I would have paid for Quicken to this worthy cause?

Thank you for your help,

Eric Hammond
