Great input Chuck

I have been looking at GNUe and it seems like a very ambitious project. It goes far beyond anything I had planed. It might be better to spend some efforts there, and then port the datamodel and functionality to OpenACS later.

However, I have continued to look into the possibility of building a community currency module. For people not familar with the concept, you can check out www.transaction.net for some background on the project.
I have created a conference at http://www.motet.com/motet/bin/motet.cgi?enter+Money called software to discuss this topic. You will have to get a login at http://www.transaction.net/money/conf/index.html

Anyway, I have started doing a datamodel and hope somebody else will be interested in trying this out. The functionality we create could form at basis for porting existing/future accounting modules to OpenACS, since we will need almost the same functionality anyway.
