depends on your perception of who the end user is. In an accounting package, the end users are typically the owner of the business, or the person in charge of accounts and the chartered accountant. The clerks and data-entry operaters are not endusers. They will not have write access to the source code. i am specifically thinking of two cases - the computer literate businessman and the chartered accountant. The first can generate his custom reports and analysis and the second can simplify his accounting by adding checks. And both can set up a two-way interface to their spreadsheet programs.
Do you want to move this thread somewhere else as requested ? That brings up an interesting point. I think we should stop the thread here. and let the team that is meeting to go ahead and do some brainstorming on this. Maybe setup a sourceforge or code.google.com project and a mailing list on that. Can then have further discussions on that. Just my suggestion. - Navneet -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
