Re: COGS incorrect when invoices are reposted

Hi, everybody,

I've been watching the project for the last week or so, and I have to
say, great work putting this all together. While I've been a paying SL
user for a couple years (and non-paying for longer than that), I've
never been a fan of the way that project hordes information.

So I'm happy to see you guys making progress here, and will try to
contribute as my time allows...

My development skills are primarily in PHP, not Perl, but I've written
some wrapper code to interact with both the database directly, and
through the SL CLI (which seems to be a particularly primitive API,
little different than accessing the CGI directly...)

My core business at the moment, however, has been deploying/customizing
CMS systems, so I had to step in here ;-)

I would suggest Joomla with the Community Builder extension... quite
easy to deploy, and very wide spread. It's certainly got its quirks, and
a very specific workflow that's a bit non-intuitive. But it's pretty,
doesn't scare away less technical folk... and has a remarkably similar
history of forking a well-known, well-entrenched predecessor (Mambo),
and taking most of the community and developer support with it (let's
hope that proves true here, too).

MediaWiki. It's ubiquitous enough that lots of people know its syntax,
and it's pretty easy to deploy.

I can provide server space and/or admin help. My bandwidth (both GB and
personal time) is limited these days, but I'll do what I can...

Cheers,
