[GRLUG] "Fixing" QuickBooks

[Tim Schmidt]

Currently organizing an effort to reverse-engineer or otherwise work
around the QuickBooks file format(s).

This is drastically important to small businesses using FOSS, as CPAs
almost universally expect (and charge less for) data in these formats.

See: http://lwn.net/Articles/314577/

I'm looking for example data stored in a format QuickBooks
understands, and people with some experience using the software.

The goal is to enable applications like GNUCash, KMyMoney, etc to
inter-operate with applications used by accountants.

Double-extra bonus points if you are, or know an accountant who might
shed a little light on what software _you_ use, and how it works!

If any of you runs into anything you feel might be even remotely
related, please, send it my way.

Thanks for your time...
