Integration is probably too strong a word right now but I see these three as being very complementary. While it might be true that all of the information is out there somewhere, I have had to make a number of educated guesses in the process of just getting GnuCash and Postgresql working together. This was after purchasing and reading all three books on GnuCash and spending a good deal of time with on-line research. Most people are not going to have the time to become dba's in order to reap the benefits of an RDBMS such as Postgresql. I find they can benefit from having the documentation for something like this pulled together in a single narrative. Given that the average PC today can easily handle running a combination like this, it seems natural to leverage the capabilities of a database like Postgresql. Soooo... I just thought I'd ask if there was a place put this kind of information and a process for getting it there.
