Finance::Quote supports a variety of sources, the most useful being
yahoo and yahoo_europe. While these provide access to a number of
funds and mutual stocks, there are still a great deal that cannot
be fetched through Yahoo!.
There are plans to do a bit of a rewrite to Finance::Quote to allow
more 'pluggable modules' types of methods. This hasn't started properly
in earnest, but there has been some discussion. If you're interested
in helping by writing a module, or want to supply a 'wish-list'
to the developers, you're welcome to join the finance-quote-devel
mailing list:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/finance-quote-devel
The page which Dave mentioned (http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=4232)
also provides access to downloads, status reports, CVS access, and
other useful facilities. Please feel free to make use of it.
This also reminds me that I should consider rolling the 0.18 release
of Finance::Quote back into GnuCash.
Cheers,
Paul
Finance::Quote developer.
