I have tried the last couple of snap-shots. Without migrating data from
my 1.x series db.

The Add admin user interface has an Import yes / no radio button. What
does that mean?

When you add an admin user there are upwards of 50 checkboxes to
complete. Is that what is supposed to happen? What sort of UI change
will be done to allow templated choices or roles? 

Adding a customer:
There is a control code on the first screen. What is it?
When you save the first screen it jumps to an account section. What is
the Customer Number is that the same thing as the Control Code on the
first screen. What do all the account fields mean?

Why once you have added a customer doesn't the sales invoice form become
a drop down and allow selecting the customer or at least a javascript
type a-head for customer auto complete. Is ledgersmb going to use AJAX
or is it going to support text based browsers as before?

You mention file upload is working. Where is the directory that holds
the uploaded file? Or is it committed to the database? I asked because I
am getting an access denied and can't discern from the apache error.log
file where the access denied is occuring.

I added a business type and then went back into a customer and found
that the business type was now in the customer business type field
although I hadn't selected it which would mean an incorrectly assigned
value if I click save.

The javascript customer entry screen seems flaky. Clicking doesn't
always display a populated form. 

Adding an employee the address options are Sales, Billing, Shipping.
Where does one define these defaults? And how do you filter them to
display correctly depending on context?

When adding a new user/customer despite setting a default country I
still have to select the correct country.

I tried to do a cash receipt and I got an error "42P01:ERROR: relation
"employee" does not exist"

LedgerSMB as a project may benefit from:

All this is on a debian squeeze box.
