Whose blood, sweat and tears is this anyway?
Lead Developers
-
Linas Vepstas
-
liked what he saw: the GUI was slick, the code was documented and
well structured, and it was all GPL'ed. And so he re-wrote it:
adding cell-widgets to XbaeMatrix, so that the combobox and arrows
would make an even slicker GUI, rewrote the X-Accountant internals
to add double-entry, an account hierarchy, split out a transaction
mini-engine, added support for stocks, and spiffed up the help
menus. This was version 1.0 as of January 1998. For version 1.1 &
1.2, the engine was expanded and refined, and the register window
code completely redesigned and made mostly Motif-(and GUI-)independent.
Linas is now active with Gnumatic Incorporated, a company formed to
enhance and support GnuCash for everyone, from home desktop users
to commercial and professional accountants.

Rob Browning
-
abused everyone for not using Perl, and then after we added Perl support,
dumped Perl in favor of Guile/Scheme support. Rob built the build
infrastructure, hacked the gtk code, and is whacking the file format.
Also, the re-write of reports and statement downloading in scheme,
the g-wrap guile wrapper, and the user preferences.
-
Jeremy Collins
-
publicized the GnoMoney project widely and broadly, and then
changed its name to GnuCash. (Actually, put the selection
of the name up to popular vote. Democracy is not
a good way to pick names.)
Jeremy registered the domain name, and created and maintained
the gnucash.org web site for years,
and got the initial GTK/gnome code working.
-
Dave Peticolas
-
hacks obsessively on GnuCash. But he can stop anytime he wants to. Really.
(As he is now the gatekeeper of the GnuCash CVS tree, be nice to him,
or he may decide to stop hacking in the middle of your patch).
-
Rob Clark
-
wrote the original X-Accountant in Motif as a school project,
taking it to version 0.9 by October 1997. Although every single
line of his code has been re-written, his name appears as a
credit in almost every file. Such is the magic of copyrights.
-
Bill Gribble
-
is not shy, or softly spoken. So don't be shy if you find a bug in
his code: QIF import, query API and transaction search, check-printing,
commodity and currency support, gtkhtml integration and report printing.
