What I meant was: I don't see any requirements from our end. In fact, this is the first time I'm hearing about inadequacies in our software solution rather than in process/workflow. I don't have a clear understanding of what Conservancy will produce with the donations. Coupled, those things leave me without an understanding of what evaluation criteria would be used for SPI to adopt whatever Conservancy's solution is. At work (an NPO) we use accounting tools based on hledger. Would Conservancy's output be useful to us? I have no idea. Would our tools be useful to SPI? I have no idea. Would $10,000 be spent better in another way more in line with our remit? I have no idea. You and Jimmy seem to be pretty confident about this. Is it just because you know Bradley or is there concrete information from which the rest of us would benefit? > Join the linked mailing list. I already have. I'm on it. _______________________________________________ Spi-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.spi-inc.org/listinfo/spi-general
