Hi, Bob,

Thank you for considering CK-Ledger for your internal use and as a 
possible sale offering
to your clients.

Your request will be actioned along with other requestors'. All usual 
considerations apply here.
Such considerations include ease of implementation, value of features 
proposed, existing
development schedule, etc, etc, etc ...

Yes. it would. To allow better data demarcation, you could utilize 
phpgw's virtual domain
feature. To allow centralised backup, you could use CK-Ledger's own 
attribute accounting
feature. A more detail explanation is available from (ledger admin -> 
multiple ledger) .

At the risk of antagonising you and other list members, I like to 
highlight the following points,

a) As a standard rider, CK-Ledger is still in beta, so bugs are 
inevitable. This fact should
be highlighted to your (potential) customers.

b) CK-Ledger is designed for use by SMEs. Advanced features are, by 
definition, missing
or to be developed in the very, very distant future.

c) You may like to review address@hidden's 
archive. There are a
few instances, at which, I, effectively, asked the feature requestor to 
choose some
other software instead.

d) If you are selling CK-Ledger installation and/or support service to 
your client, you should be
independently knowledgeable about CK-Ledger and its various 
idiosyncrosies and
shortcomings. The public mailing list and CK-Ledger's existing user base 
should
not be used as your consultant if you are selling CK-Ledger consultancy 
services to your clients.

I hope I haven't offend you too much :-) . But these are things that I 
think you should be
aware of before proceeding further.

Cheers,
CK
