your page notes that GNU Enterprise is based on GnuCash; is this
still the case?
the GnuCash pages claim that GnuCash is/will be aimed at both
personal finance and small business accounting.
It's worth noting that [rumour has it] GnuCash have some pretty good
financial backing, hence people are working on it steadily. It's
certainly not suitable for business use in 2000/2001, but perhaps
it will be ready by next year. They do have one of the most
extensive and detailed todo lists I've ever seen ;)
As Terry said, the GST rules are pretty nightmarish so it looks like
someone will have their work cut out for them implementing them for
GNU Cash/Enterprise ...
[first thing to do: make sure the "au" locale works so that "cheque"
is spelt correctly ....]
