[CK-Ledger-users] Re: Need Chart?

[<chi...@ya...>]

Hi, Jerre,

Sorry for the delay in replying. I had been tied up
with updating
CK-Ledger's demo website in mainland China. Hopefully
I'll be able
to complete the work within this week.

Yes. The additional sample chart of accounts is most
welcomed.
Doing a backup and edit away the non-chart table
related parts
is definitely a good way of doing it. However, you may
like to
check on two minor details.

a) Please ensure that the High School Band
organization does
agree to the publication of the chart of accounts to
the world
at large, since incorporating the chart into the
CK-Ledger
distribution code would make it available to anyone
interested.

b) Please limit the number of accounts to under 100.

If both a) & b) are OK, please email me a copy of the
tailored backup file.

I've checked with my CK-Ledger codebase and the
SourceForge demo
site. It seems that with v.0.7.1, they are spelled
correctly.
However, I'll keep looking to see if you may be
referring to some
other column headers that I have missed.

Again, my codebase and the demo site seem to allow the
creation
of Equity type account. I wonder if you may be using a
pre-v.0.7.1
version.

In terms of CVS, I have made a decision at the outset
of the project
not to create a CVS repository. I have the firm belief
that it is very
difficult to maintain discipline among volunteers in
an open source
environment. The argument among phpgw developers when
Ralf Becker's
CVS update right was taken away perhaps exemplifies
the difficulty.

In contrast to the CVS situation, I would certainly
encourage
you to write a separate module to solve your
application
requirement. If you think fit, then you could email
your
module to me and I'll incorporate the module into the
CK-Ledger
main code with full recognition that you are the
author of the
module. Indeed, you will be fully responsible for the
subsequent maintenance of the module itself. I'll
serve the
passive role of maintaining CK-Ledger as a conduit for
your
module's publication unless there are some issues of
inter-module
collaboration being raised. However, I would also
encourage you
to maintain a index page for your module, with all the
various
disclaimer, security issues and problems being
highlighted.

Thanks. I'll try it out myself and if all goes OK,
I'll add
a message in the Ledger Report filter screen
highlighting the
cut-and-paste approach of Statement generation.

My pleasure.

PS. I am sending a copy of this reply to
ck-...@li...,
so the others are aware of current development
