Our CPA (Yes, we do have one) only recommends QuickBooks, but has used a |
| 10 |
variety of other proprietary systems (none of which he recommends at |
| 11 |
all!). |

The catch is that either Quickbooks or Sage would be a violation of the |
| 14 |
social contract's libre-licence dependence clause. |

Ledger HAS filled most of our needs thus far, but lacks in reporting and |
| 17 |
some automation: |
| 18 |
- I'd love to automatically generate lots of depreciation |
| 19 |
entries, but can't yet. |
| 20 |
- Something to anonymize private information in some entries, so that |
| 21 |
the actual Ledgers can be published for transparency. |
