Dieter Simader, the creator of sql-ledger, in an email has asked me to clarify my position regarding sql-ledger development. He has specifically referenced my this (http://bit.ly/aR7XM1) mailing list posting.

I am sorry for any confusion caused and would clarify that Dieter is *the* developer of sql-ledger and any new official version as well as updates are developed and released by him.

I have built my business (www.ledger123.com) around sql-ledger services (hosting, development, docs, support) but I am not associated with DWS Systems Inc.

SQL-Ledger enhancements and bug fixes

The enhancements and bug fixes I offer at github.com/ledger123 are not official. These enhancements and bug fixes have been sponsored by sql-ledger users and are available freely to anyone.

As a side note, it seems that new sql-ledger versions from Dieter are not open source. I shall however keep releasing new features and enhancements for sql-ledger which will be free/open source. (And as usual you can always sponsor a particular feature or enhancement)

Mailing list

I have created (and maintaining) this mailing list as a free resource for helping sql-ledger users. This is not official mailing list.

The official mailing list which was functioning for the last 10 years has been terminated by Dieter for unknown reasons.

I am also banned from joining and contributing to the Dieter’s support forum. This list is however open for everyone to join and contribute.

With the help of a kind user I was able to restore old mailing list archives at http://www.ledger123.com/archives/

Hope this clarifies any doubts.

An interesting piece on Seth Godin’s blog.

I’ve always been frightened by big-firm accounting. The sort of financial legerdemain in which skilled accountants work hard to make the numbers look the way the CEO wants, instead of making them clear. Cash accounting run on a simple bookkeeping system is the small way to do it… even if your company is huge. That’s because sooner or later, management has to know what’s actually happening as opposed to what they can pretend is happening.

GD::Graphs Perl module allows you to build graphs (bar, pie, line etc.) in your Perl applications. We have written a very simple script which will help you to build graphs on your Sql-Ledger data using this module. The sample created by this script builds a bar graph on your monthly sales.

Welcome to all new ledger123.com.

Our old website was done using Google Pages (Don’t be surprised. Just simplicity.) Frequent updates and a need for some occasional blogging was demanding something little better.

With our obsession for simplicity (you can feel this from our old and new websites), our choice was nothing else but WordPress and a simple theme like the current one.

We have tried to keep to link structure similar. Kindly report any missing information or broken links.
