<div dir="ltr">Here is an offer for help. If there is anything else we can do, please ask.<div><br></div><div style>1. I can work with the community on a self-assessment regarding 990 filing and funds accounting. This should be of help (though not determinant) in your evaluation. The self-assessment could also include a technical overview, an understanding of where the project is going both technically and from a market standpoint as well as what we see the weak points as being more generally.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>2. I am happy to provide tech support during your evaluation.</div><div style><br></div><div style>3. I am in the process of helping found a business that will do LedgerSMB hosting. While I don't think that the project should assume that smaller NPO's are going to want to use the software in a hosted environment, we'd be happy to set things up so that we could host a LedgerSMB cluster for your evaluation and the evaluation of any other NPO's that want to participate in evaluating the software and providing feedback. Obviously this would be for sample data only, but we'd provide unlimited databases and users for this for both 1.3 and the 1.4 beta. The primary goal would be to encourage collaboration by making the evaluation version internet accessible for participants. This would be a pure community donation. We wouldn't be doing it to expect that folks would sign up for our hosting services. This would not be a substitute for any local evaluation the Conservancy might want to do, but it might be a welcome addition.</div>
