PayMaster by Treshna in New Zealand. Treshna has released a previous in-house product under GPL, and ported it to Linux.
It currently uses pg, but I’ve looked at the schema and MySQL 5.0 shouldn’t have a problem with it. So, if you’re currently looking for a little project, port it for MySQL and submit back the changes!
And if you do, please do tell me about it – apps in this realm are very important for the adoption of OSS in small business environments.
I’ve downloaded the software and tried it a few months ago. If it had of been any good I would have packaged it for Debian. I write/use PostgreSQL over MySQL by preference, so had *no* problems with that part of it 🙂
Unfortunately, when it wasn’t crashing, it was presenting me with an impenetrable and unintuitive user interface. I looked at the code, somewhat, and it’s built using a framework which is built by Treshna and seems to require a noticeable learning curve to figure out.
I thought maybe it was just me. Perhaps a real accountant would find it no trouble at all. So I showed it to one, and he was even more confused and weirded out by it than I was.
It would be nice if it were nice…
