<h1>X-Accountant/GnoMoney Project Goals</h1>
X-Accountant/GnoMoney is a Motif/C (and soon GTK) personal finance
accounting application. The project is the result of a merger
of the GnoMoney project with Xacc development. There are currently
two versions: xacc-1.0.17, and xacc-1.1.x. The version 1.0.17
is written in Motif, and is considered to be stable/production quality.
You can red more about X-Accountant at its home page

This page introduces the Xacc Project, aimed at enhanceing and
improving X-Accountant.

The version 1.1.x is *unstable* (may not even compile), and is in
active development. This page attempts to describe the current
goals & status. Current efforts center around a port to GTK, and
the addition of various features.
