Hi Jeremy and the list: I have continued to try out some of the main packages scoped out in the project. (I have had to use a much more powerful machine to run openoffice!) My focus has further narrowed to assembling a minimal usable destop system + accounting in the near term, without worrying too much about a distribution. I have ventured out from the safe havens of Woody - I am trying a mixture of testing and unstable. So I will continue to be interested in the project even at its current pace. So far, I have tried only Debian packages. Next to explore will be non-Debian packages. If I like a non-Debian package, and it hasn't been packaged by the time I have checked it out, I'll probably package it. From the sketchy description of the packages, it seems to me there is overlap among the packages. E.g., GnoTime + Mozart = Etude - cashflow? And how can data flow between these programs and a general ledger program? I haven't gone back to re-read some of your early posts, but I think you were working on some sort of database that will be the back-end integrator for all the packages? And maybe that is meant to be in the base packages? Elaine On Sun, 2003-11-09 at 09:18, Jeremy Malcolm wrote: > Many thanks for your message.
