Excellent Idea! I've looked at GNUCash.  Interesting product.

I live in Tucson so I do not attend any of the meetings.  Would be
interesting to see all the PLUGers and put a face with all those emails.

I think packages like GNUCash are what is going to make Linux Stronger than
it already is.

I am interested in finding an open source product that would allow me to
customize for the small business community.
