[software] NPO software: where we need to go

[Josh Berkus]

All,

 From looking at Civi, Rapport, Donor.com, and OA, I see that there are 
currently multiple mature options for handling the "Front side" part of 
donor management.

However, what apparently currently doesn't exist is the financials, 
particularly financials which would accomodate complex arrangements like 
fund accounting.

Donor.com proposes to work on their financials module if they can get 
funding.  I think that some of us externally should do parallel work at 
the same time on a financials module which is designed from the get-go 
to be "plugged in", that is, to accept a stream of transactions from any 
of several Donor/campaign managment software packages.

Yes/no?
