advantages: highly integrated with OpenPetra
disadvantages: a lot of work

files could be accessed via the OpenPetra server, or via SFTP, Samba, etc.

question: How would other software programmes access the documents?

eg. Alfresco or Knowlegde Tree

advantages: they work
disadvantages: how to copy user permissions; how to integrate with OpenPetra

see http://www.openstreetmap.org/

this could require setting up your own map server, etc.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengeodb/

this is much less data to manage and to load (does not require a big map server), but not so much worldwide data?
might be easier to integrate for a start

there should be just one table for exchange rates.
Daily exchange rates are downloaded from a public service.
A list with corporate exchange rates can be downloaded from a central server of the organisation, which will replace all daily exchange rates for the period the corporate exchange rate applies to.
we need to make sure that no daily exchange rate is entered for a period for which we already have a corporate exchange rate. The corporate exchange rate might be marked with field "authoritative", "system" or similar. We might need to add a effective_to date to make sure when an exchange rate is valid.

This is a powerful javascript and AJAX solution, with lots of GUI controls.

It has solutions for communicating with the server via SOAP etc.

We could modify our Winforms generator to produce the appropriate Javascript code.

A lot of thought would need to be put in managing data on the client side, and about how to minimise coding the verification code both in c# and javascript.

The GPL license of extJS should fit nicely for OpenPetra.

Advantages are that the code is in C#.
The gui elements should be quite similar as in Winforms.

Support for printing was added in Silverlight 4.0, which used to be a show stopper.

Disadvantages are that the user has to install the Silverlight (or Moonlight for Linux) runtime environment in order to be able to use the client in the browser.

the OpenPetra client already has automatic patches ie it is always uptodate.
The fat client is much easier to use.
We should focus on getting the functionality done, and fully support the client running on Mono, then we can cover MacOS and Linux as well.

a preview report should be displayed, that shows the current balances and the balance that would take effect after the posting of the batch. The user can then confirm the posting, or cancel, and change the batch.

implementation: a special posting function which rolls back at the end, after getting old balances of accounts (datarowview.oldstate?), and new, display somehow easy to see, in a grid message box

This would be provided as an additional means of data entry, so that more complicated transactions consisting of more than 2 movements of money are still possible.
