It is called "AccInABox". This name probably needs a bit of explanation. "Acc" is an accountant. "Box" is the computer. You can set the system up with various rules and parameters, and then leave your staff to operate it without supervision. The program acts as your accountant, and will control what the staff can and cannot do. At the last count, there are about 10 million things I still have to do before it is a working product. But the structure feels quite stable now, and you can do a few simple things with it, so I am ready for people to have a look and offer feedback. I don't know GitHub at all, and I don't know what other information you need, so please let me know whether it works. Frank -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
