Please copy your replies to the list; use either reply-all or, if your mail client supports it, reply-list. I suppose that you're referring to the iOS app. I don't know much about it, but I know that Gnucash has no network interface built in, so any companion app has to link to our libraries and access the dataset through that interface in C, Scheme, or Python.

We've been slowly changing them into regular dylibs to make testing and debugging easier and to speed up starting the program (since most of the plugins get loaded at startup anyway). But the capability to connect is there. I think all of your ideas are doable with the possible exception of adding custom fields to the ledger (by which I imagine that you mean the Register pages; the ledger is a report in Gnucash). The register is a big steaming pile that was essentially ported over from Gtk+1 and isn't going to be receptive to adding fields to it. That said, the Register needs to be rewritten using more recently available widgets (e.g., the GtkTreeControl family) to get it ready for Gtk+3. It might be feasible to provide a plugin facility as part of that rewrite.

Plugin API?
Hello all, I originally included this in my last email but felt it was worth its own thread. Have there been discussions developing support for custom GNUCash plugins(or does this support exist and I have just simply missed it)? As far as plug in support, I have some fairly sophisticated ideas in mind ranging from custom reports (which is pretty much already built in) to the ability to plug in custom fields in the ledger, plugins for interest estimation, bill reminder plugin and/or bill reminder system daemon, plugins for adding payments to a google account calendar, etc... I think there is a huge amount of potential here. -- Ryan M.

Re: Translation of GNUCash to Spanish
GnuCash has already a spanish translation completed to 84% [1] although it was last updated more than 3 years ago (the date in the po file is 2008-01-21) You can start from this file and update/correct/add to it. Then you can send the updated po file to this list and someone will take care of committing it to the source tree.

Those should be deleted completely or taken off-line (or at the very least robots.txt should disallows that, which I've commit a minute ago) because it almost surely violates someone else's copyright and there is no reason for the gnucash project to do so.
