Hmmm.... Knowledge Tree is MySQL only which means that if you are
trying to use it as a paperles solution your documents are backed up
outside your accounting db.  I am not sure this is very good.

I wonder if there are any good open source equivalents on PostgreSQL.
If not, I think we are best off to modularly add source document
management (a very specific subset of DMS) to LedgerSMB.  If it is
modular, then we can allow for people to create connectors to other
DMS solutions.
