Definitely fortunately, rather than unfortunately. I subscribe to strict adherence and absolute
alignment to market requirements. If there's no one willing to pay for a feature, it probably
isn't really needed.
Many of my projects have special requirements even for accounting side of things, anyway. Seems
like accounting is a necessary behind-the-scenes functionality that many people don't want to
renovate and beautify very much.

This is also a big objective for us at Hotwax Media
(www.hotwaxmedia.com), and we have it on our short list of things to
invest in and pursue contracts for. We think it is important for OFBiz
and to our company in order to more easily land ERP contracts. There are
2 ways I see us getting involved, hopefully in the very near future:
1. land a contract involving this functionality either on its own or as
part of a larger ERP gig
2. find ourselves with extra people who can work on it; note that this
is 2nd on our list of things we'd like to work on, right after the
project/work management functionality that is becoming more critical to
our operations
Option #2 isn't actually too crazy, we've already had people spend time
looking at this and planning for it, but unfortunately (or fortunately?)
all of our people are busy on contracts right now.

Scott,
There was some talk at the last developers conference about building
out the accounting component some more. Perhaps you should post this
message to the dev mailing list too.

Hi Guys,
I would like to see accounting and financials that make more sense
and that
are more complete. I would like to see them based loosely on QuickBooks
especially the reports and banking type functions like bank
reconciliation.
With that in mind, would anyone be interested in some sort of
collaboration?
Would anyone be interested in a community project or even
contributing with
our cash to have some of the more seasoned members put something
together?
Anyone interested? Thanks in advance.
