Greetings community members.
I have been asked by a volunteer group from a non-profit organization to identify freeware accounting solutions that provide book keeping abilities and allow for building a custom functionality on top of them. Each solution is to be evaluated against the same set of criteria. Below is the list that I compiled for FrontAccounting. Please review and correct me where I am wrong (please point me to the URL that describes functionality that I though is absent from the tool). Thank you - we appreciate your help!
