Hi, Jacek,
Thank you for your interest in CK-Ledger.
My background and the general direction of CK-Ledger
is available from a email dated 16 Feb 2002, that I posted
to ck-...@li.... Actually, some
of the targets listed there had been accomplished.
ck-...@li... also carries info
on the latest development. Notably, Geoff (from Australia)
is testing out the software and provides numerous enhancement
suggestions. Robert del Huerto (from US) is developing a rental module.
You are most welcomed to put your Polish touch to CK-Ledger.
As to the actual participation process, my suggestions are,
a) You could developed a sample (English-based) Chart of Accounts
for a typical Polish company (say, an insurance company).
However, I
would advise against transplanting the Chart of Accounts from
your existing or ex-employer. This would allow you to
familiarise with
CK-Ledger's logic and php coding. In terms of actual
programming work,
it is mainly to provide a polish clone for
.../ck-ledadmin/adminbuild.php.
However, you would have to consider in detail, the implications
of
Polish transactional (sales/VAT) tax system, if it is in place
in Poland.
Once it is tested to be working fine, I'll incorporate it into
the main
CK-Ledger code as an Polish sample Chart of Accounts.
b) Next, you could develop Polish translations for CK-Ledger, so the
user interface can be localised for use in Poland. Multilingal
support
is provided by the underlying phpgroupware. More detail info is
available from www.phpgroupware.org and
php...@gn....
Hope this answers your query, and you are welcome to join any time.
PS - I am forwarding a copy of this reply to
ck-...@li...,
so others are aware of current development.
Cheers,
CK
