## Preliminary evaluation
### Positive
### Negative
- Community: The mailing lists are not very active, see <http://mail.tiolive.com/pipermail/erp5-users/>, <http://mail.tiolive.com/pipermail/erp5-dev/>
### Comments
Yusei Tahara(an ERP5 developer): I'm sure ERP5 can be customized into an international NPO accounting program. ERP5 is very flexible, customizable, strong i18n/l10n support. However it takes time to understand how to use/develop. Let me know if there are any questions.

### Evaluation of [[Double-entry Accounting|UseCases/DoubleEntryAccounting]] UseCases
- Does the system implement pure double-entry accounting?

- [[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.

- 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]]?
