"...simplicity of design was the most essential, guiding principle.
Clarity of concepts, economy of features, efficiency and reliability of
implementations were its consequences." --Niklaus Wirth
"The competent programmer is fully aware of the limited size of his own
skull. He therefore approaches his task with full humility, and avoids
clever tricks like the plague." --Edsger Dijkstra
"I was hesitating to cross the street in Edinburgh one day, and these two
little old Scottish ladies cried out to me 'LIVE DANGEROUSLY, SON! LIVE
DANGEROUSLY'" --kowey

ALL THAT'S NEEDED IS THE DESIRE TO BE HEARD. THE WILL TO LEARN. AND THE
ABILITY TO SEE. --Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics

** docs before packaging before tests before fixes before refactoring before features
** "bugs" are errors, as in the programmers messed up
** automate

*** faq
**** life cycle of top-level accounts
For personal ledgers, when you're born, all accounts are at zero (one hopes) and as you live:
1. Equity accounts accommodate your previous years of not maintaining accounts (fixed, probably negative)
2. Expense accounts become more and more positive (unavoidably)
3. Income accounts become more and more negative (on payday)
4. Assets Accounts become more and more positive (in good times)
5. Liability account become more positive (in good times, when you pay them off) and more negative (when you use them to buy things).
When you die, Equity: and Income: will stand at large negative balances,
Expense: and Assets: will stand at large positive balances and Liabilities
will have to be paid (out of Assets) before your heirs get what's left.

How to grow the hledger project ?
I'm looking for ways to fund active and sustainable hledger
development by me and others.
A secondary goal is to develop new sustainable models and processes
for funding free software developers and other community projects.
This is sometimes the point in a free sw project's development where
the project leader seemingly loses the plot, alienates contributors
and destroys the community's good-will dynamic. I've seen it many
times, but a few have succeeded and I want to be one of them - so
that I can eat, have a modicum of stability and do my best work in
service to the community. At worst, I'll look bad but the project
will still be out there. At best I'll live more easily and joyfully
while serving the cause of Financial Solvency!
2009-01-20 11:43:06 +03:00
So I'm beginning by posting these notes and inviting your thoughts -
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
as much or as little as folks want to give. How could we do this
so that all benefit ?
funding models
==============
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Brainstorming some possible funding models & processes.
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* grants
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
How to find possible grant sources ?
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* con
* getting grant funding is a whole new field to study
* slow and time intensive, I imagine
* donations
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Solicit donations.
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* pro
* simple
* con
* often difficult
* donators do not feel a direct benefit
* shareware
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Release the project under a non-free license, requiring commercial
users to pay the fee on an honour basis (eg).
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* pro
* flexible, low administration, encourages trust
* con
* effectively closed-source ? would inhibit collaboration
* benefit is still indirect, only a proportion will pay
* enforcement/guilt may come into play
* limited-time premium branch
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
The funded version of hledger gets some desirable premium features
before the free version and is closed-source. Funders/customers pay
a fixed price for immediate access to the funded version. Yearly, a
new funded version is released and the old funded version is merged
into the free version. (To gain experience it could be done on a
smaller scale, eg monthly/quarterly.)
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* pro
* all features reach community, predictably
* customers are also community funders
* customers receive direct benefit from paying
* con
* free sw developers compete/outshine the premium branch
* bounties
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Some (or all) feature, bugfix, project management or other tasks are
published with a bounty attached. When the bounty is paid by one or
more funders, the task is performed and delivered. Or, bounty is paid
on completion of task (honour system).
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* pro
* funders receive direct benefit
* bounties using fundable.org (eg)
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
A more organised form of the above, perhaps facilitating trust,
co-funding and larger bounties.
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* pro
* proven process developed by others
* con
* fundable takes a cut
* hosted service
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Offer hosted and managed ledgers, perhaps with premium features, for
a monthly fee
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* pro
* proven model
* clear benefit to customers, especially non-technies
* con
* success of free/self-installed version competes with hosting service
* some will avoid web-hosting their financial data
* customisation
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Offer per-user customisations, possibly to be merged in the trunk,
for a fee
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* support
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Offer user/developer support for a fee
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* training
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Offer application and/or financial training for a fee
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* profit sharing/tithing
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Each period (quarter, half-year, year), donate 10% (eg) to project
contributors and/or supporting projects
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* transparent funding
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
Funding and usage of funds is published on the web as a ledger
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* opaque funding
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
All funding and spending need not be made public
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
strengths
=========
2009-01-20 11:21:50 +03:00
hledger has some aptitudes in this area:
2009-01-20 11:55:46 +03:00
* hledger deals with money => hledger users will tend to have some money
* hledger's purpose is to increase financial success => users will feel its value to their bottom line
* hledger is a tool that can support project funding, eg by publishing community funding data
weaknesses
==========
* hledger doesn't have a nice ui yet
* hledger has a limited featureset
* hledger requires work, eg data entry and chart of accounts maintenance
* hledger is geeky
* there is competition
* hledger has no compelling market niche (aside from payment-averse free software users)
competitors/fellow niche inhabitants
====================================
* web apps
* netsuite
* sql-ledger, ledgersmb
* wesabe
* ...
* desktop apps
* quickbooks
* quicken
* ms money
* grisbi
* gnucash
* excel
* ledger!

**** goals
***** allow separately-packaged functionality to be discovered at run-time and integrated within the hledger ui.
Example: user installs hledger-ofx package from hackage, or adds Ofx.hs to their ~/.hledger/plugins/;
then "ofx" is among the commands listed by hledger --help, and/or is a new command available in
the web and vty interfaces, and/or is a new file format understood by the convert command.
**** issues to consider
***** what is the api for plugins ?
they'll want to import Ledger lib, to work with ledger data structures
***** there are different kinds of "plugin". What could plugins provide ?
****** commands - for all uis, or for one or more of them (cli, web, vty..). A command may itself be a new ui.
****** import/export formats
****** skins/styles/templates for uis, eg the web ui ?
**** techniques to consider
***** running executables provided by plugins
a cli command plugin: cli execs the executable with same arguments
a web command plugin: web ui runs the executable as a subprocess and captures the output
***** linking plugins into main app with direct-plugins
simplification of plugins lib
main app needs to know the types used in plugin's interface
weakens type safety, avoiding runtime errors requires extra care
requires whole-program linking at plugin load time
plugins can be discovered by querying ghc for installed packages or modules in a known part of the hierarchy
maintained and keen to help
***** linking plugins into main app with plugins (original)
more complex than above
more type-safe/featureful ?
2010-04-10 04:21:35 +04:00
***** doing whatever xmonad does with dyre
2010-03-19 23:01:26 +03:00
***** interpreting plugins under control of main app with hint
ghci in an IO-like monad
types need converting, etc.
plugins may run more slowly
plugins can be discovered/loaded by module path or by loading files directly

2008-05-27 01:13:54 +04:00
[1:27pm] <sm> I have decided I am not getting enough visible day-to-day value out of my ledger, I need more of that to stay motivated
[1:27pm] <Nafai> What do you think will help in that?
[1:27pm] <sm> I think some simple self-updating charts, or even good reports in a visible place
[1:28pm] <sm> something I don't have to spend an hour fiddling with to get answers
[1:38pm] <sm> Nafai: identifying/designing some useful reports/charts seems to be blocking me
[1:39pm] <sm> there are probably some standard ones I should use
[1:40pm] <sm> a graph of daily net worth is probably one of the simplest
[1:58pm] <sm> what else.. a chart of weekly expenses in key categories
[1:58pm] <sm> ditto, monthly
[1:58pm] <sm> a chart of monthly income
[1:59pm] <sm> those three should help me be more clear about cashflow status
[2:00pm] <sm> also I'd like something that shows me how much I am on top of financial tracking - how current my numbers are, when last reconciled etc - at a glance
[2:01pm] <sm> another simple one: current balances in all accounts
[2:01pm] <sm> those would be a great start
[2:04pm] <sm> daily net worth, weekly expense, monthly expense, monthly income, confidence/currentness report, and balance report
[2:05pm] <sm> let's see, which of those 6 would give most payoff right now
[2:05pm] <sm> probably 5
[2:06pm] <sm> how could I measure that ?
[2:06pm] <sm> number of days since last ledger entry..
[2:06pm] <sm> number of ledger entries in last 30 days (compared to average)
[2:07pm] <sm> number of days since last cleared checking entry (indicating an online reconcile)
[2:08pm] <sm> those would be a good start. How do I make those visual
[2:09pm] <sm> well I guess the first step is a script to print them

*** ledger budgeting/forecasting
seanh:
With `--budget` you can compare your budgeted transactions to your
actual transactions and see whether you are under or over your budget.
The way it works is this: say you have a budget entry that moves £50
from Assets into Expenses:Cash every week:
~ Weekly
Expenses:Cash £50
Assets
When you run register or balance with `--budget` ledger will insert
reverse transactions that move £50 _from_ Expenses:Cash _into_ Assets
every week. These are called budget entries. The idea is that your real
transactions that move money from Assets into Expenses will offset the
inserted budget entries that move money the other way. The budget
entries and the real transactions should sum to zero, if they don't then
it shows how much you have overspent or underspent.
For example:
ledger --budget balance '^expenses'
balances your budgeted expenses against your actual expenses on those
budgeted accounts (sub-accounts of expenses that do not appear in the
budget are ignored in this calculation). The sum of the budget entries
(which move money out of expenses accounts) and your real transactions
(which move money into expenses accounts) should be 0. If the sum is
positive then it shows how much you've overspent, if it's negative then
it shows how much you've underspent.
You can do the same with register and get a print out of each
transaction (budget entries and real transactions) with a running total:
ledger --budget register '^expenses'
And you can produce weekly, monthly or yearly budget reports:
ledger --budget --weekly register '^expenses'
ledger --budget --monthly register '^expenses'
ledger --budget --yearly register '^expenses'
These will only output reports for each week, month or year that has
passed (your ledger file contains transactions dated later than that
week, month, or year). You can see how well you did last week (or month,
or year) but you can't see how well you're doing so far this week
(month, year).
The `--unbudgeted` argument will show (and sum) all your expenses for
accounts that are _not_ budgeted, and the `--add-budget` argument will
consider all your expenses budgeted or not with the budget entries
added in.
With `--forecast` you can project your budget into the future to see,
for example, when some account will reach 0. For example, to predict
your net worth:
ledger --forecast 'd<[2012]' register '^assets' '^liabilities'
Or to see how your expenses will add up:
ledger --forecast 'd<[2012]' register '^expenses'

*** essential/getting started info
I've never used financial management software before, I'm just confused at what I'm doing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-entry_bookkeeping_system
money isn't created or destroyed, it moves between accounts
all possible accounts are organised under five categories: assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses
the gist of it for *ledger users is that each transaction in your journal (file) is balanced, ie its postings add up to zero
typically you have a posting to some account (expenses:food $10) and an equal posting from another (assets:cash $-10)
so should things like income be a forever-decreasing value?
yes
I think traditional bookkeeping uses "debit" and "credit" for (among other things) hiding the negative sign
I wonder, if folks had been comfortable with negative numbers in the middle ages, if debit/credit would have been invented
so, when I start a ledger file and I start my initial account balances for, say, checking, I withdraw them from equity or income? Or does it matter in this case?
traditionally, you transfer opening balances from equity
and this is just a convention, or is there some better reason behind it?
I believe it's actually based on the real-world meaning, and makes sense if you study enough bookkeeping
I thought equity was more a share of something owned.
that's right, and if you squint enough the two uses are equivalent
So I'd do something like "assets:checking $foo \ assets:savings $bar \ liabilities:creditcard $-baz \ equity:opening balance"?
yes
what about loans? Those are liabilities, right?
yes
okay. So after I set up my initial account balances, it's just a matter of keeping track how and what I spend.
yup, tracking your checking account's or your wallet's inflows and outflows is a good way to start
Gradually you'll add more tricky things like invoices and short-term loans (accounts receivable/payable)
I also read in the manual that you can set up routine actions, like debiting from one account and crediting to another on a monthly basis.
this can help me set up budgets, right?
yes, ledger lets you specify those with special modifier/periodic transactions. They appear in reports but not in your journal file. Or you can use cron or something to actually add them to the journal
and there's also a budget report feature
a catalog of standard bookkeeping entries for typical real-world transactions is really helpful and worth searching for

+For me, what would be very useful for a 1.0 version would be:
+
+- @check directive (see beancount), but implemented as a comment for ledger,
+ so that ledger does not get confused by this, and that you can implement
+ more features without breaking backward compatibility;
+
+- account declaration (see beancount), in ledger comments. Giving an account
+ number would (or could) help for the reporting stuff, for knowing which
+ value to get to read, for inserting in a given report;
+
+- some built-in ratios for being able to see the health of the finances (see
+ my Excel file, if you're interested);
+
+- easier standard outputs, such as the one above (with expenses and income in
+ 2 columns).
+
+- real report generation (I thought at LaTeX as in SQL Ledger, but I am now
+ heading and producing reports through Org, which is 1000x better). Results
+ soon.
