Hi, I have some points about gnukhata. 1) Who's the intended audience of gnukhata? Is it the businesses or home users? If it is business then why are we so worried about there being incompetent people to install and manage the application. If it is then they have another bigger problem to solve before they worry about what accounting package to use. If it is the home user, then why are we so worried of scalability at this point as compared to features? No home user is going to generate huge data, they will care about features. 2) The wiki mentions of #gnukhata channel on irc.freenode.net, I don't see anybody on that channel, nor is it even registered. Is it the right channel? 3) There are a couple of typos in the documentation. Whom do I report it to? 4) While installing, even when the installation is failing I see the following line "Tables and default data are added" 5) Installation seems to go fine but I am ending up with following error when starting the client application. I have python 2.5.2 -----xxxxx----- : No such file or directory ./main.py: line 28: syntax error near unexpected token `'2.0'' ./main.py: line 28: `pygtk.require('2.0')' -----xxxxx----- But, typing the same in python interpreter seems to return no error -----xxxxx----- python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jun 26 2008, 19:45:40) [GCC 4.2.3 (Gentoo 4.2.3 p1.0)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
