- [[!wikipedia Ledger_(software)]] - Wikipedia
- <http://ledger-cli.org/> - Project homepage
## Technical
- Written in C++ using boost libraries.
- Python interface, might need some work
## Preliminary evaluation
### Positive
- Version controllable file format
### Negative
- You should preferably have the discipline of a programmer to use it

## Evaluation
**Note**: Due to the simplistic philosophy and architecture of ledger-cli, the sky, development ability and time are the limits to what ledger can achieve.
### Evaluation of [[Reporting|UseCases/GeneratingReports]] UseCases
Conservancy has contributed a few scripts regarding reporting: <https://github.com/ledger/ledger/tree/master/contrib/non-profit-audit-reports>.
- [[Trial Balance Report|UseCases/GeneratingReports#trial-balance]]: Yes,
- [[Bank Reconciliation Report|UseCases/GeneratingReports#bank-reconcilation]]: Yes, [if you're a hacker](https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/Reconciling). Can also be found in ledger/contrib/non-profit-audit-reports mentioned above.
- [[Chart of Accounts|UseCases/GeneratingReports#chart-of-accounts]]: The trial balance report shows the chart of accounts during the selected period.
- [[Cash Disbursements Journal|UseCases/GeneratingReports#cash-disbursements]]: Can be found in ledger/contrib/non-profit-audit-reports mentioned above.
- [[Income Report|UseCases/GeneratingReports#income-report]]: Yes
- [[Expense Report|UseCases/GeneratingReports#expense-report]]: Yes
### Evaluation of [[Reporting|UseCases/GeneratingReports]] UseCases for Fund Accounting
Can each of these reports be generated, confined to a specific temporarily
restricted asset type?
- [[Trial Balance Report|UseCases/GeneratingReports#trial-balance]]: FIXME
- [[Bank Reconciliation Report|UseCases/GeneratingReports#bank-reconcilation]]: FIXME
- [[Chart of Accounts|UseCases/GeneratingReports#chart-of-accounts]]: FIXME
- [[Cash Disbursements Journal|UseCases/GeneratingReports#cash-disbursements]]: FIXME
- [[Income Report|UseCases/GeneratingReports#income-report]]: FIXME
- [[Expense Report|UseCases/GeneratingReports#expense-report]]: FIXME
### Evaluation of [[Fund Accounting|UseCases/FundAccounting]] UseCases
- [[Fund-only View|UseCases/FundAccounting#fund-view]]
- [[Funds as part of whole org View|UseCases/FundAccounting#fundless-view]]
- [[Ignore Funds for operations|UseCases/FundAccounting#fundless-view]]
### [[UseCases/Collaborating]] evaluation
- [[Simultaneous Editing of Ledger|UseCases/Collaborating#simultaneous-ledger-edits]]: FIXME
- FIXME: Other uses cases need rewrite.
### Evaluation of [[Double-entry Accounting|UseCases/DoubleEntryAccounting]] UseCases
- Does the system implement pure double-entry accounting?
### Evaluation of [[TrackingDocumentation|UseCases/TrackingDocumentation]] UseCases
- Does the system [[link up to external documentation|UseCases/TrackingDocumentation#document-link-up]]? Not by default.
- Does it have a [[the ability to explore transactions via documentation linkage|UseCases/TrackingDocumentation#document-link-explore]]? Not by default.
### Evaluation of [[Handling multiple currencies|UseCases/MultiCurrency]] UseCases
- Does it support the concept of
[[a single functional currency|UseCases/MultiCurrency]], while still
permitting multi-currency entries?
### Evaluation of [[draft transaction|UseCases/DraftTransactions]] UseCases
- Does the system allow
[[generally for draft transactions|UseCases/DraftTransactions#draft-general]]
that can be later approved before officially being posted to the books?
### Evaluation of WorkFlow UseCases
- Is a [[specific workflow dictated by the system|UseCases/WorkFlow#workflow-dictated]] ?
- Is a [[the workflow configurable|UseCases/WorkFlow#workflow-configurable]] ?
- [[Unaccrued Invoice|UseCases/WorkFlow#unaccrued-invioice]] ?
### Evaluation of the [[Reading and Reporting API|UseCases/ReadingAPI]]
FIXME: This is assessment of what the API for manipulating the accounting
data does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.
### Evaluation of the [[Storage API|UseCases/StorageAPI]]
FIXME: This is assessment of what the API for storing the accounting data
does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.
### Evaluation of the [[Community Health|UseCases/CommunityHealth]]
- Is the [[license both determined as Free Software by FSF and OSI-approved|USeCases/CommunityHealth#license-approved]]?
- Is the [[license GPL-compatible||UseCases/CommunityHealth#gpl-compatible]]?
- Does the project
[[require assignment of copyright or a CLA to get code upstreamed|UseCases/CommunityHealth#no-cla-for-profit]]?
- How many
[[active developers/companies contribute to the project||USeCases/CommunityHealth#dev-count]]?
* If there aren't many, how hard would it be to take over the project if needed?
- Is there good [[developer documentation|UseCases/CommunityHealth#dev-docs]]?
- How easy it to [[engage as a developer with the community|UseCases/CommunityHealth#dev-welcoming]]?
