[SLL] accounting software

[John Locke]

We used to use SQL-Ledger, and went over to LedgerSMB when it forked.
It's far from perfect, but it works very well if you (or your
bookkeeper) knows double-entry accounting.

LedgerSMB is fixing a lot of fairly serious problems that were in
SQL-Ledger--probably the biggest problem being a project leader who was
hostile to the community. They're in the process of moving all the
business logic into the database (Postgres), and making it easy to do
things in a GAAP-compliant way -- for example, soon the "Delete" button
won't actually delete an invoice, but automatically post a new invoice
that reverses the transaction.

Cheers,
John Locke
