There are a number of existing accounting projects. Some of these are listed under . **If your project isn't listed here, feel free to add it!** These projects will be evaluated for suitability and/or adaptability. We have an [[template you can use|ExistingProjects/EvaluationTemplate]] to evaluate these projects to the UseCases we've collected so far. ## List of projects under evaluation * [[ExistingProjects/ADempiere]] * [[ApacheOFBiz]] * Contacted * [[ExistingProjects/Bookyt]] * Contacted * [[ExistingProjects/ERP5]] * Contacted * Template filled in by Yusei * [[ExistingProjects/ERPNext]] * Contacted * Evaluated by joar * [ERPNext's strange would-be copyright assignment policy is problematic](https://github.com/webnotes/erpnext#copyright-for-contributors) for various reasons; bkuhn has [raised the issue on the ERPNext Developers' Forum](https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=msg/erpnext-developer-forum/jfsURU8Ew9A/HVDX1z3vvkgJ#!msg/erpnext-developer-forum/jfsURU8Ew9A/HVDX1z3vvkgJ). *[This issue has now been resolved](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/erpnext-developer-forum/jfsURU8Ew9A/Ejz_J_otzDQJ)*. * [[ExistingProjects/GNUCash]] * [[ExistingProjects/Kuali]] * Contacted * [[ExistingProjects/Ledger]] * [[ExistingProjects/LedgerSMB]] * [[ExistingProjects/npo-ledger-cli]] * [[ExistingProjects/OpenERP]] * [[ExistingProjects/OpenBravo]] : * [[ExistingProjects/OpenPetra]] * Contacted, due monday * [[ExistingProjects/Postbooks]] * [[ExistingProjects/SQLLedger]] * [[ExistingProjects/Tryton]] * Template filled in by Joar * [[ExistingProjects/webERP]]: NOTE: [[Frontaccounting|ExistingProjects/Frontaccounting]] is a fork of webERP. ## Projects Temporarily Rejected These projects have been rejected temporarily (i.e., evaluation is on hold) because of some issue that seems unresolvable at the moment, but may be resolved at a later date and will remove the blocker of looking more closely at the project. ## Projects Rejected These projects have been evaluated as part of this effort and rejected, both for a basis of this project or for any code reuse. A few of the primary reasons are given on this page, but the whole evaluation can be read on the linked page. * [[ExistingProjects/Frontaccounting#final-eval]] * Straight PHP with no framework * Data model somewhat messy, accounting not clearly separated. * Only one or two developers. * Workflow not easily configured. * [[ExistingProjects/GNUEnterprise]] > GNU Enterprise is not a Finance/ERP/Accounting software (yet). While the original project goal was to create exactly that, the maintainers at that time decided that as a first step, good development tools for database centered applications should be created. The focus of development then was strongly on these tools, and while they are to a certain extent usable to actually create database applications, further development in the project has come to a halt because most (all) developers shifted their energy to other projects. -- Reinhard Mueller * [[ExistingProjects/Garradin]] * Entirely in french, would need l10n, i18n and might not be suitable for US or international use. *Disclaimer: I cannot read french, these are assumptions.* * [[ExistingProjects/BeansBooks]] * [Not free software](https://beansbooks.com/home/opensource) * The developers have been reached, not yet replied.
