Hello Peter,

Thanks for checking CK-Ledger out.  The answer to your questions are,

1    Sourceforge limits application description to 255 chars, so there is not much I can do about this  :-(  .

2.    More detail information of CK-Ledger is available from
    a)    the mailing list, ck-...@li...
    b)    the Installation Manual (only a few pages long) kept at the Docs Section of http://sourceforge.net/projects/ck-ledger

3.    CK-Ledger does not requires SQL-Ledger, but it does need apache+phpgroupware as an underlining middle layer
        and Postgres or MySQL as the DB engine.

4.    CK-Ledger is written in pure PHP.

5.    I have been with the IT industry for quite a number of years to know that long term plan with an IT product
        is very much a shifting target.   However, the mailing list, ck-...@li..., will reflect
        on the intermediate goals of CK-Ledger and the additional modules being developed.  Actually, I am
        writing a POS module for the next release of CK-Ledger.

6.    Geoff from Australia is testing CK-Ledger and is likely that a sample chart of accounts for Australian companies
        will be developed in future.

Just so people have better info on CK-Ledger, I am forwarding this reply to ck-...@li...

Best Regards,
CK
