Just to let you know. It's possible to have your old data in LedgerSMB.
http://www.ledgersmb.org/help/migration/sql-ledger.html

There is experimental support for migrating from SQL-Ledger via Setup.pl

We need to test this support. It would be great if you could do it. It 
can help many people in the same situation with less expertise in the area.

As all other software, LedgerSMB have bugs, they on the Tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=875350&group_id=175965&func=browse

We have been down to one bug earlier this year. You are welcome to work 
with us on them and add more bugs or help us solve some of them.

We have a case on this, with some sql code. We would like to test it and 
include it LedgerSMB. Take a look.

Yes, we think so.

More LedgerSMB users = better software,
if everyone contributes what they can.
