[TriLUG] GnuCash

[Bill Farrow]

I used GnuCash for tracking all family expenses for a year. I think
there would be a nice side business providing support and training,
and perhaps selling a "GnuCash for Dummies" book.

The biggest problem I had when I started using it, was the lack of a
template or wizard to get you started. You basically had to know what
double book account was and what accounts you should set up for
yourself.

Stemming from this was the lack of reporting templates. I could never
work out how to get a pretty report out of it with graphs and stuff.
Bling is important.

Anyone want to give a talk to Trilug on GnuCash later this year ? We
could follow it up with a workshop...
