- [Most recent release 2013-09-05](http://frontaccounting.com/wb3/pages/posts/release-2.3.18193.php)
 
- Themable
 
- Seemingly easy to deploy (Looking at their source release, structure looks similar to wordpress, for good or worse)
 

	
 
### Negative
 

	
 
- It seems to be built from scratch and not leverage any frameworks.
 
- Seems like a messy codebase: Table-based design. No templating, HTML is `echo`-ed to stdout.
 
- Uses the [deprecated](http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php) PHP `mysql_*` functions.

It seems FrontAccounting's "Dimension" feature likely can do all of these,
 
since it seems you can limit any of the above reports by "Dimension".
 

	
 
## Evaluation of [[Fund Accounting|UseCases/FundAccounting]] UseCases
 

	
 
- [[Fund-only View|UseCases/FundAccounting#fund-view]]: No, seems to be no way to
 
restrict a user to a specific Dimension.
 
- [[Funds as part of whole org View|UseCases/FundAccounting#fundless-view]]:
 
  Yes, dimensions appear to be purely informative.
 
- [[Ignore Funds for operations|UseCases/FundAccounting#fundless-view]]:
 
  Yes, dimensions appear to be purely informative.
