GnuCash integrated product announcement. |

Just wanted to drop you all a quick note that CogBilling, an online billing
system which integrates with GnuCash, is now available for review at
http://www.rsmba.biz/download. CogBilling is an online database driven billing
system written entirely on open source products. In its present state it's
intentionally void of heavy graphic images and "creature features" to maximize
flexibility in developing future versions. CogBilling is intended to be useful
for any professional services organization, but ultimately should function
especially well in organizations that do software development, legal services
and the like. Furthermore, CogBilling is intended to be integrated into large
IT infrastructures such as those found in healthcare institutions, clinics and
physician practices.
This application is the first public release of our planned open source
applications. Once we can sustain continuous development of the application
through the sale of services and website hosting we will release the whole
thing under a traditional open source license (e.g. Gnu, BSD, etc . . .). At
the present, we expect this to occur in the spring or summer of 2004.
For the more technically inclined, CogBilling was written in Embedded Perl
(Embperl), and uses a PostgreSQL database as the backend. It is hosted on the
latest version of the Apache web server.
This is the first beta release of the product, so the user interface promises
to be a bit rough, and the online manual is not presently available. However,
you will find that the system's basic functionality works.
Future directions we have planned with this product is deeper integration with
GnuCash at the database level, integration with GnoTime, and integration with
Issue Tracker.
You can e-mail me directly, but for the benefit of the Open Source community
you should also post comments, criticisms or suggestions posted to this
discussion list.
Thank you.
Richard Schilling
