Google Summer of Code 2007

GnuCash is applying as a mentoring organization to the Google Summer of Code. The following are the proposed projects from the GnuCash developers.

Proposed Projects

QIF Importer Rewrite

GnuCash has a generic importer mechanism used by OFX and HBCI, but the QIF importer is still on its own, written in Scheme, and uses a completely separate User Interface. This project would invove rewriting the QIF importer in C and integrating it into the existing Generic Importer User Interface. One attempt to rewrite the importer in C was attempted, but the student does not need to continue with that re-write and may choose to start over again (or they may choose to continue with the aborted first attempt).

Register Rewrite

Finish the re-write of the GnuCash register to use the GtkTreeView. Make sure all the interfaces that use the Register (Transaction Register, SX Register, Invoice Register) can use the new UI.

Suggestions from a user

Simplify Stock actions

Currently it is not to easy to perform common action on the stock accounts. Things like Buying / Selling / Divident / Splitting etc all take quite a bit of manual entering of data. Would be nice if there were a small GUI for it, like in Quicken/Money. A GUI where you only enter the needed information once and let GnuCash sort out everything else. Need to decide how the account structure should be, in regards to Cash, and Commodity. This so we can trace everything nicely.

Exportable reports

One thing I am missing from Money is the possibility to export all reports to whichever format I want. Like text, cvs, mail, html, printer etc
