I haven't thought about that yet, as I have been pretty busy studying
and learning the very basics (eg: "where are the curly brackets on the
keyboard?" - hint: there are no curly brackets on Italian keyboards).
I do love the idea of Open Source, but I am also pretty sure that
skill-wise I am not on par with the community.
Let's see how the project progresses over the next few weeks.
Regards.

interested if so.

I've looked into doing my own accounting app as well. Sitting with an
accountant the main thing she had an issue with, in regard to all the
products currently available, is tracking what the amount is for on
each
side of the transaction.
Example, say I as an individual transfer $10K into a company I'm a
director
of. On the individual side (withdraw) of the transaction info needs
to be
recorded as one thing, then on the other side (deposit) different
information needs to be recorded. This whole transaction needs to
exist in
both places so come tax time the account doing the work for tax can
follow
everything simply.
The concept of schema-less documents now starts to shine as ideal.
I have a
few other projects on the go right now and will not be getting to
this one
anytime soon. Interested in what you guys come up with :)

Hi Zhengji,
I am in fact working on something similar (think of it as a
GnuCash on
Couch).
So far I have tested the following concepts:
- storing the "accounting entries" as an array alongside the
original
source document
- storing the "chart of accounts" in the same database as the source
documents (with a special _id)
- building a view that combines "chart of accounts" and "accounting
entries" together in order to obtain the "general ledger".
So far so good.
I am an absolute beginner (both with couch and the web) and I
haven't
done
volume testing, but at the conceptual level CouchDB looks like a
very
clean
and powerful solution for this class of problems, IMHO.
Regards.

Hi all,
I wonder if I could make a browser based persional finance manager
with CouchDB as back-end database.
Is CouchDB suitable for this application?
