Adding to OpenBSD. Is this a good time now?
by chris＠bennettconstruction.us 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

A lot of Perl modules need to be imported into OpenBSD in order for it to be installable. I plan on asking for help to do this from OpenBSD users. It seems like LedgerSMB would now be a good import with all of the development of testing, etc. Are there any big changes on the immediate horizon for 1.5? I'm not running LedgerSMB because of the work that needs to be done first. As a side note, I am working on getting the forums back up, but $$ are a bit of a problem right now. Trying to find a baremetal server outside of the USA that I can afford hasn't been successful so far. I found one, but they charge $30 for remote access for 24 hours. I can't afford $90 a month, which is most of what I am finding. Thanks, Chris Bennett

ledgersmb.org site content review && proposed actions
by Erik Huelsmann 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Hi, While evaluating the site statistics for ledgersmb.org (I was looking if there's anything we can/should do better to help people "find" LedgerSMB), I found a number of pages which definitely could use some love. See (some) of my findings below. Two questions: 1. What about the proposed actions? 2. Who can volunteer to address these issues/execute these proposed actions? My finding: Large number of hits, but 96% bounce rate: https://ledgersmb.org/faq/what-difference-between-sales-invoice-and-sales-o… > What would be the reason people hit this page? Because of accounting problems of their own? Or because they're searching for an accounting system? If people simply have accounting questions, can we get a lower bounce rate? Or will we simply have to accept that this is the best we can do? If anything, it looks like this page could use some reading hints (paragraph headings, etc) applied. Not as many hits as some other pages, but still quite a few, but 100% bounce rate: https://ledgersmb.org/contributed-resources > The page content doesn't feel too relevant. Anybody with more relevant content? Outdated, with quite a few hits, but 100% bounce rate: https://ledgersmb.org/faq/localization-internationalization/how-can-i-trans… > This page could really do with an update. Empty pages with 100% bounce rate: http://ledgersmb.org/faq/invoicing-0 http://ledgersmb.org/faq/void http://ledgersmb.org/faq/end-life http://ledgersmb.org/faq/support-0 http://ledgersmb.org/faq/bank-account https://ledgersmb.org/faq/utf-8 https://ledgersmb.org/faq/10 https://ledgersmb.org/faq/11 https://ledgersmb.org/faq/102 https://ledgersmb.org/faq/20 http://ledgersmb.org/faq/macos-x http://ledgersmb.org/faq/redhat-enterprise-linux https://ledgersmb.org/faq/accounts-receivable-0 > Can/Should we remove these? Or should we make sure they'll get some content? -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

Update of Roadmap page
by Erik Huelsmann 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Hi, Today, I've updated our Roadmap page (https://ledgersmb.org/content/roadmap) This is just a heads up, letting you know the most important edits: * Moved the item about a function to implement checks during database migration to "in progress" * Removed the "Done" items (after all, this is a roadmap: looking ahead) * Removed the "Decrease installation size" item: our Docker images are less than 250MB; that sounds like a nice target size. Let me know in case more edits are appropriate, but I missed them. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

I'm just waiting for the hardware to be set up and I can get stuff installed! I'm using mwforum which is no longer under active development. It has an addon to turn incoming mail into posts. I've never had any security problems with it. There were a few troll bots that registered, but that was a long time ago and wasn't a big problem. I do a few strange things with the incoming mail to not lose anything when the forum or PostgreSQL is offline. My main concern is that I have lost all of the recent mail for months now. If there is a way to get the mail sent again to add it to the database, that would be great, but the move away from Sourceforge also happened. Worst case might be best just to restart the mail boards from scratch starting when I get everything running again. I was already considering trying to trim off the old mail anyway since the database dumps were getting pretty large. Perhaps a couple of emails that sum up what's going on and what has been done would be the simplest way to solve the missing emails. I could make these sticky posts at the top of the boards for each mailing list. Thanks for the offer, hopefully I will get everything up and running in a few days. Thanks, Chris Bennett
