Hi Nelson, This mailing list is gut wrenching to read. Sadly, it's not a new thing for these open-source project communities to degenerate into something of a Lord of the Flies type of mosh-pit situation with an overall tone of hateful stupidity. I suspect the lack of structural support for social organization and operational sophistication allows squatters and vandals to gain a foothold and eventually dominate a project. Anyway, from the little that I've seen in the last couple of days, it doesn't look like there was ever any significant influence of data integrity engineering involved in the architecture and infrastructure of this software system. While this software might not be considered a safety critical system [1], the decisions that are based on the data involved could have serious impact on people's lives. >From this perspective, whether or not GnuCash is salvageable, I don't know; but in the short term, it's probably prudent to find a more reliable method and tools to manage one's critical data, IMO.
