Hello,

I am from Poland. We have Social Insurance Institution here named \'ZUS\'.
\'ZUS\' require paying taxes from all companies which hire more than 
5 workers. It is OK. 
However the only way too send documents about taxes paid by company 
is through the application called \'Platnik\' (Payer). \'Platnik\' is
provided by one large company. To tell you the true \'Platnik\' is 
free but it closed (closed source, specification and documentation).
Additionaly it require using MS Windows OS. Even if company uses 
Linux, Solaris, SCO or whatever different OS must have at last one
computer with installed MS Windows to use \'Platnik\' which is not 
free of course. It is not OK in our opinion.

We want to create alternative version of \'Platnik\'. Version which 
will be truly free, open and available on all (or almost all) 
common operating systems: GNU-Linux, Solaris, SCO, BE OS, MAC 
OS, ... and so on and of course MS Windows. 
Of course it is conformable to our law in Poland.
We simply want to give a \'chance to choice\' for all people which 
must send documents to \'ZUS\'.

Initialy we want to create open-\'Platnik\' in Python and wxWindows 
or GTK library. We can\'t exclude using other languages like 
C/C++ or Java. We want to use LGPL for libraries and GPL for 
other parts of application.

When I say \'we\' I mean \'Open Software Community\' in Poland.
