I think scripting one of the home versions would make more sense as that’s the
version the average person is likely to use and would benefit from the most as
many blind people are just managing on limited incomes.

quick books is the full version which a lot of small business and just business
in general use, but a lot of folks use quicken home and business which has a
lot of the quick books capabilities in it and structured the same as quick
books

One thing I also might mention is because quickbooks is updated every year; I
would have to make this a lasting project and not let it go stale. Each year
the script will have to change and older scripts might not work with the new
release; so these would not be backwards compatible scripts. It is possible
they could work with older versions; but I can't guarantee the year to year
versions will be the same. I would start with the latest meaning quickbooks
2011. I would keep this project going by possibly charging for the scripts.
Nothing outrageous; just enough to keep development for the future. I don't
know of other possibilities of getting the project funded every year; but
perhaps this is where other organizations will come in. I haven't charged for
scripts before; so this is new to me. This would definitely make for better
support; but the scripts would have to remain closed source unless I sell the
rights to them. I am aware that this might make us run out to get the latest
version; so another charge to make it accessible doesn't seem fair in the
beginning. If I got it funded by kick start; the first year would be free;
while the following years would have a price to them to keep it going since
this is a monster of a program.; Let me know your thoughts on this.; John Martyn
