I'm far from a bookkeeper, so I'm unfamiliar with how it would be done, but I've heard great things about it. Then again, if you're an open source advocate, you're probably familiar, and have vetoed it for some reason. :D I dunno!

Only $129. It's what my wife (the church bookkeeper) uses for offering tracking and year-end giving statements. They use QuickBooks Pro for department account management. http://www.churchkeeper.com/freetrial.html Check out ChurchKeeper (Windows app). Only $129.

In fact, I'm often excited when there is an interface. Their Sourceforge project page says it's licensed under the GPL. Could RevivalBlog be releasing a fork in the future? :D RevivalTracker? :P I guess I’ve used open source software long enough that I don’t expect a beautiful or intuitive interface.

You should log in and see how bad the GUI is. My wife is going to be doing all this for now so I need something a little better on the eyes. I wonder if this is open source. I can always mod the GUI I guess. hmmmmm I briefly tried that one. You should log in and see how bad the GUI is.

I've not used it before, but it *appears* to have the features you require. It also has an online demo so you can login and try it out before you even fiddle with installation.

I tried open source church based on xoops. I could not find any meaningful docs. You recommend anything? My dream app would be an opensource (free) web based.

Are you looking for web-based, or a desktop application? Which did you try already? I’m seeing several open source solutions that should accomplish the task.
