Hi Castern,

Its me, Saurabh again.

Thanks a lot for the fast new releases. I am really enjoying working
with org and finding it indispensably useful.

I would also want to thank Manish, who the other day, devoted 2 hours
of his, with me, for the interactive help session.

Just yesterday night, I was thinking of an extension for basic double
book accounting, wherein we can use TODO type keywords for
Debit/Credit and Tags for account names.

For each accounting entry to succeed, there should be two entries
compulsorily, as is the rule for double book keeping.

Then, there should be a pane on the left side maybe, updating
different accounts (such as cash, bank, food, books etc.) real time.

Finally, some report to show the transaction for a particular a/c (ie
Tag) can be generated.

I really don't have the expertise to implement this, but maybe this
could be a project for someone who is good at lisp... :)

I really don't know if something like this exists for org; do let me
know if something is there and forgive me for this unnecessary idea.

Thanks for reading.

With regards,
Saurabh Agrawal.
