It is an ERP system, very strongly aimed at manufacturers, so would require some substantial adaptation to NPOs. However, it benefits from a strong API in the form of PostgreSQL stored procedures, which would make adapting the basic GL functionality to a more complex NPO module feasible, since interaction with the PostBooks GUI would not be required. One possibility would be to use PostBooks as the backend for a system which also supported ledger-cli; that way users could have the choice of SQL or Git backend. Daniel Pocock: + * I've recently packaged it for Debian and Ubuntu, this may help it achieve wider usage than some of the more heavy weight Java-based ERP solutions as they are not easily packaged * Backend is exclusively PostgreSQL for now * No server processes required other than PostgreSQL itself
