I found it +interesting, as I am involved with several organizations where +accounting is an issue, and I have not really become too friendly with +the different web based systems we use. I find it hard to find what I +look for in the menus and even harder try to get sensible data out of +the systems. Ledger seem different. The accounting data is kept in +text files that can be stored in a version control system, and there + +are at least <a href="https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/Ports">five +different implementations</a> able to read the format. An example +entry look like this, and is simple enough that it will be trivial to +generate entries based on CVS files fetched from the bank:</p> + +<blockquote><pre> +2004-05-27 Book Store + Expenses:Books $20.00 + Liabilities:Visa +</pre></blockquote> + +<p>The concept seemed interesting enough for me to check it out and +look for others using it.
