Sujet: [Wikimedia-l] Accounting software for thematic orgs
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 06:54:41 +0200
Hi all,
There are online small business accounting software packages. Do any
thematic orgs have experience with them? Any recommendations? I am thinking
about proposing Quickbooks Online for the Cascadia user group, but as this
Forbes article says, there are competitors:

An important point. This happens regularly despite the best
intentions of all involved. (And not only at the organizational level
-- e.g., we all still rely on 'edit count' for so many things, despite
persistent vocal attention to its weaknesses and subvertability as a
metric since the start.)

This is likely :) I've added your concerns to the wiki discussion
about the report:

(Also cc:ing the low-traffic treasurers mailing list. I believe some
org treasurers who don't have time to follow all of Wikimedia-l
nevertheless read that list.)
