Hello all- I am currently a developer on the Palm financial program freecoins <http://freecoins.sourceforge.net> Basically, for any who don't know about it, it is a simple transaction program that uses a similar ideology to that of gnu-cash (split-transaction, double bookkeeping [if I have the terms correct]). Anyway, I am developing an export program (freecoinsExport) for taking the Palm database files and exporting them into other formats (such as csv for a spreadsheet, or hopefully QIF for import into Quicken or gnu-cash). So naturally, I am interested in finding a way to export to a format that gnu-cash can import into. So far my attempts at exporting QIF have met with some limited success. I wasn't able to find a lot of information on what the QIF format should really be. There has also been some work to create an XML formatted document that is similar in design to the gnu-cash system. However, [at least people tell me] that there isn't an easy way to import an XML file into gnu-cash. I should also state that I don't have much personal experience with gnu-cash. This has mostly been 3rd party people who tried my program, and then offered some suggestions. Of course, the ultimate goal would be to create a conduit between gnu-cash and freecoins that allows the two programs to stay synchronized. I don't think you would want to keep the full transaction record on your Palm (not enough space), but you could keep say the last month or so. I am looking into what all of this would take, and I was hoping that I could get some information from the group and see if anyone would be interested in working on it with me. Thank you very much, John =:->
