Hi Ed,

 We've currently got an XML/RESTful API in the planning stages for
LSMB (a fork of SQL-Ledger), and we hope that it will also work with
SQL-Ledger (any folks here intersted in that, please let me know - we
could use some testing/coding help to ensure SL compatibility). If
this sounds interesting to you, please email me off-list or join our
-devel mailing list (info at http://ledgersmb.org/help/ - follow
mailing list link).

 While you might not like some of the style and structure of the code,
SL does have a pretty decent feature set. BTW, we've done a major
cleanup of the code (all of which Dieter is free to use or toss at his
discretion of course - our changes are in a public svn repository) and
are on the cusp of a new release which has a lot of changes and
enhancements. We have 5 active developers and are moving at a fairly
fast pace. SL users can benefit from our changes and still use SL if
that's their preference. I hope that Dieter will take our changes (or
at least the ones that he likes) and that it will save him work and
benefit his users, but I don't want to pressure him either way.

Cheers,

Chris
