Well, I think this might be a bit out of the scope of what we could
reasonably manage. Large businesses generally have much stricter needs
and would probably already have some big ugly ERP system (SAP, Oracle,
PeopleSoft, etc...) that they already pay an army of people to
maintain, run. So, I think we would have a long way to go before
LedgerSMB would even be considered by them. Sure, it would be nice if
this software got there at some point, but IMHO the core focus should
be on the small and medium guys first. Otherwise we could risk
alienating them while chasing a bigger fish that we might never catch.

Cheers,

Chris
