Hello, Travis,

Thanks for checking out ck-ledger.

Actually, starting from release 0.0.9, ck-ledger had started to depart
from SQL-Ledger.  So far as I can remember, Quotation is not included
in SQL-Ledger.  The upcoming POS module is not even part of
SQL-Ledger's future plan.  The SQL-Ledger's team had actually made
a request that I kept ck-ledger and SQL-Ledger separate, so I think
the current diverging path between the two projects would be beneficial
to both.

With basic functionalities, there are indeed a lot of SQL-Ledger's features
that I had not implemented, notably multi-currency, conversion of invoice,
po, so to pdf format for universal print, etc.  One important thing to note,
though,
the internal data structure of the two projects are quite different, eg database

fields of the same name could mean diff things, etc.

I don't think it is a good idea to port all features of SQL-Ledger to ck-ledger,

but if you consider a feature essential and it is fair easy to implement the
feature within the current structure of ck-ledger, by all means, dip it and
try your hand on it.

Best Regards,
CK
