Dear Khan, Your project is really very welcome, and I'd like to prepare its version in Portuguese, if you don't mind. Another suggestion: Include a section on management of micro credit systems, you know, micro loans to the poorest of the poor, model Grameen Bank or by many different kinds of agencies, from huge governmental banks to small community co-ops and associations. I have been trying to set up such kind of software, including data about the borrowers, their business, the amounts lent, the terms, default rates, impact evaluations etc..., but I was not able to develop it by myself. Some people from Devel-l communicate that they would like to participate in such a project, but we didn't have anybody really able to program the system, I suppose. But I can get their names from my files, if you enjoy the idea of exchanging your ideas with other concerned and experimented people.
