I was thinking of just running GnuCash as a client (on my desktop
system - or anyone's desktop system that happens to be maintaining
WPLUG's books at that time...), and just using the database as a
back-end data store. It appears to be able to do that - don't think
any GnuCash bits actually need to be installed on the server.<br>
<br>
I have a prototype set up at home using local storage, but if I go
that way, I'm the only one who can access it, and handing off the
data to a new treasurer at some point in the future might be
problematic.<br>

Sounds like a pretty neat idea except gnucash may take a bunch of
backend X libs that may or may not be on the server. <br>
