I haven't been following the stuff with regard to GnuCash automation issues in previous Board minutes, but I thought I'd share a suggestion. For Software Freedom Conservancy, we used GnuCash for the first few years, but found, as perhaps you all are, that getting the needed reports out of it required a lot of work coding up new reports in Guile. I decided ultimately to switch to a tool called Ledger: http://wiki.github.com/jwiegley/ledger/ It's ASCII and command line based, and the 2.x series versions of it can actually read in GnuCash data. This might be able to help your automation: even if you stick with GnuCash itself, using a version of Ledger that supports I/O on GnuCash files might be able to generate the reports and spreadsheet import you need more easily. Just my $0.02 having been through a similar problem. HTH. -- -- bkuhn DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed in this email are my own, not those of my employer.
