Here we have a mailing list that is dedicated to Linux, (GNU/Linux) and Open Source and that has been crying about the need for an accounting software designed to make linux more acceptable to the general users.
Saswata, I know many general users who know and use GNU/Linux. They don't find the need for accounting software yet. Accounting software makes GNU/Linux acceptable to general users is a wrong premise. Thoroughbred CAs like yourself won't jump till the package has a fan-following. Accountants != General users
And when a person on this list is offering to do something to further the same, you ask him to go to the software's own mailing list. So what is the use of this list ? Then when rony has a problem next time with a proxy software, you will tell him to go and sign up for that software's mailing list and dont bother people here ?
I think Siddhesh is right, he has pointed to right list where testing from user's pov can be better explained by Krishnakant and other developers rather than making such discussion here.
Kartik and Siddhesh are right. We don't discuss kernel code, PHP or the nuances of accounting principles here.
We arent discussing accounting principles. However if we do discuss accounting principles in relation to FLOSS and in this case to a FLOSS accounting package, i dont see any deadly sin being committed.
While pointing out a user list is helpful and i am sure users will eventually subscribe to the list, i dont see why Suhit should be subscribed to make his offer.
