Financial group in KDE

asoliverez's picture

FinanceStack is what we internally call the infrastructure that we will use for integration among KDE financial applications, kind of an Akonadi. It came up as an idea during the brainstorm for this year's GSOC. Klaas sent us an email, then we started contacting other financial applications, and Thomas and Klaas started working on a preliminary design for a use case.

All of that turned into a KDE Financial group, where all of the financial application currently based on Qt and KDE could work together and integrate (and compete, why not? ) in the KDE-fashioned way.

Yesterday, there was this blog by Aaron Seigo, and at the very end, he mentions this group. http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/05/akademy-2009-reason-to-go.html. Yay! It looks like we are going to get some attention.

In the meantime, Guilleaume has contacted us to work on a way to interoperate data among our applications. At first, it is only for users moving from/to Skrooge and KMyMoney, but I can see this as a practical use case to start work on the FinanceStack.
