I know little of accounting and such, so don't know how to interpret the scanty pkg-descr tidbits that accompany the ports. So, some amplification would be helpful. It would need to keep records for about 500 members (say under 1000 for good measure - more is, of course OK), including membership, participation and official responsibilities (such as board oficer, etc). It would also need to keep accounts, regular receipts from members, non-members, services and payouts for expenses and also remissions to an umbrella organization. The ability to generate regular reports for the membership, plus year-end reports for tax purposes would be important. The ability to cut checks and keep a record would be a significant plus. So, does anyone know of something good along this line in the open source freeware world that would run on FreeBSD - whether currently in the ports or not? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for any useful information you can provide. ////jerry
