I've been looking at eGroupWare, and this is an approach I would  
favour.  I wonder how much work would be involved in creating such an  
interface...

I would like to be able to drive LedgerSMB from eGroupWare, at least  
from a sales perspective.  What I mean is:
1) Create new accounts, projects, etc in eGW, and have them  
automatically created in LSMB
2) Generate quotes, incoming orders and invoices in eGW, which are in  
effect passed transparently to LSMB to do the actual work, and return  
the results to eGW (so that all the financial side of things is  
handled in LSMB)
3) Account status information provided to eGW from LSMB so that the  
salesman can tell if a customer is behind on payments, has exceeded  
his credit limit, etc.
4) Product data used by eGW is retrieved from LSMB.

LedgerSMB would be used directly for all the other financial tasks,  
credit notes, purchasing, product pricing, GL, financial reports,  
payments made and received, etc.

The question is, is this feasible, or am I suffering the delusions of  
the terminally-overdosed on caffeine?
