 - [[Simultaneous Editing of Ledger|UseCases/Collaborating#simultaneous-ledger-edits]]: FIXME
 - FIXME: Other uses cases need rewrite.
 - [[Simultaneous Editing of Ledger|UseCases/Collaborating#simultaneous-ledger-edits]]: Not by default. Possible by using a version control system since the ledger data is in plaintext files

 - Is a [[the workflow configurable|UseCases/WorkFlow#workflow-configurable]] ? Yes.
 - [[Unaccrued Invoice|UseCases/WorkFlow#unaccrued-invioice]] ? ledger-cli does not manage your invoices by default, it only manages accounting data.
 ### 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.
 ledger-cli can be configured to output machine-readable formats, you can also read the text files directly.
 ### 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.
 It is possible to alter the text files in any way as long as they are parsable by ledger-cli.
 ### Evaluation of the [[Community Health|UseCases/CommunityHealth]]

 - Is the [[license GPL-compatible||UseCases/CommunityHealth#gpl-compatible]]?
 - Is the [[license both determined as Free Software by FSF and OSI-approved|USeCases/CommunityHealth#license-approved]]? Yes, it's the [BSD license](http://ledger-cli.org), see e.g. <https://github.com/ledger/ledger/blob/master/src/account.cc> for license text.
 - Is the [[license GPL-compatible||UseCases/CommunityHealth#gpl-compatible]]? Yes, it seems to be the [modified BSD licsense](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD).

   [[require assignment of copyright or a CLA to get code upstreamed|UseCases/CommunityHealth#no-cla-for-profit]]?
+  [[require assignment of copyright or a CLA to get code upstreamed|UseCases/CommunityHealth#no-cla-for-profit]]? No, it does not seem like it.
 - How many
   [[active developers/companies contribute to the project||USeCases/CommunityHealth#dev-count]]?
+  [[active developers/companies contribute to the project||USeCases/CommunityHealth#dev-count]]? [21 over the last 12 months](http://www.ohloh.net/p/ledger). The C++-based ledger-cli is in maintenance mode until further notics - New features will probably not be added by the maintainer himself but could be added by the community.
      * 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]]?
 - Is there good [[developer documentation|UseCases/CommunityHealth#dev-docs]]? There does not seem to be any developer documentation.
 - How easy it to [[engage as a developer with the community|UseCases/CommunityHealth#dev-welcoming]]? Public IRC channel and mailing list, friendly.
