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
