Re: E-guile link
Hi Derek, FYI, the e-guile link is back up: http://woozle.org/~neale/repos/eguile/eguile.html I looked at it. It appears intuitive and nice to use. However, how does that fit with Josh Sled's simple roadmap explanation after G2? E.g., We've been really focused on the G2 port and 2.0, and intentionally haven't talked with too much rigor about post-2.0, at the same time there's been a lot of discussion over the last year or so, and I think it breaks out like: ... - Scheme removal ... - Fix modularity system cutpasted from http://www.mail-archive.com/gnucash-devel@gnucash.org/msg12143.html Is Scheme/Guile staying in or going out? Would e-guile be deleted within the year and replaced?

Re: E-guile link
IMNSHO, what Josh means is that the WAY gnucash uses guile needs to be fixed, and the way that gnucash is so /dependent/ on guile needs to be fixed. Guile needs to be removed from the startup sequence. Gnucash needs to depend LESS upon guile. But I don't EVER see guile being /completely/ removed. I definitely do not believe that eguile would be ripped out in a year. -derek Quoting Brian Rose [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Derek, FYI, the e-guile link is back up: http://woozle.org/~neale/repos/eguile/eguile.html I looked at it.

Title: RE: E-guile link I have no opinion about using scheme or not for anything, but if there are folks who want to get rid of it; we can evaluate the use of XSLT as a templating engine. I've used it and it's okay but I suspect that eguile is much more flexible.

Nah, might as well focus on eguile in the short term. -derek Tracy Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have no opinion about using scheme or not for anything, but if there are folks who want to get rid of it; we can evaluate the use of XSLT as a templating engine.

You can always use XSLT for your own customised reports and if, once you have G2 installed, you create XSL stylesheets for QSF that you think could be useful to others, feel free to let me know. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpSkBCFwZc4L.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
