[Klug-general] KLUG Project

[Mike Rentell]

I've always wanted a plug-in to Gnucash which would be suitable for an 
association or club. I would like to see an additional list of 'members' 
of various 'grades' as well as 'customers' and reports suitable for a 
membership secretary. I would be happy to join in the spec and test but 
the actual coding etc is way beyond me.

Just a thought - I have to use windoze and Sage which are adequate but 
expensive and that is the only other OS program I need. So VirtualBox is 
constantly in use to gain access.

A real open source accounting program for clubs would be good.
