Ok, i didnt want to discuss this in public, but since you asked. I was there at the launch of the software. I saw some basic problems which i discussed with the lead developer (there was a lady, i fogot the name).
Bugs are there for fixing and obviously developers keep fixing bugs or seriously work on the feedback.
Same goes for the problems. have you downloaded the recent versions and tryed them out? I hope you are aware that we work full-time on the project so you can safely asume that from the lonch date till today many problems must have been fixt.
No, i have not downloaded or installed the software. This software is not a priority for me, but only an option.
Thanks, But it is a priority for us. I am very sure you are aware of development cycle. I don't think your "favorite" tally was perfect on the first release or there are still absolutely no problems in the current version. Any ways you just wanted to show the oral support for GNUKhata so may be you did not feel like trying it out. Even that is one kind of contribution to free software, thanks again for that.
So naturally i did not bother when i found developer apathy towards my offer to help. As someone said in this thread.....CAs will start using it when it becomes popular not otherwise. :-)
Popularity is not a built-in software module nor a word which is written in comments. And I to my modest knowledge understand that popularity is born out of support for a certain concept or may be a product out of the concept. Well some people contribute by adding fuel to the fire of popularity while some will just wait for the fire to grow untill it is good enough for warming their houses in cold.
Both are correct in their own ways, specially when it comes to a sensitive issue like an accounting software.
I will take this opportunity to sincerely thanks Kartik, Siddhesh, Kenneth (for being so soft spoken and understanding), Mehul and of course Nagarjun who keeps giving us very very useful advice. And thanks to all those who went ahead in testing our software. All the feedback good or bad has been taken seriously and till date more than 80% for the suggested things are implemented by the GNUKhata team.
Happy hacking. Krishnakant.
