The famflows project is simply an accounting program used to track "flows", either entering or exiting the house.
It is based on a particular type of "double entry" accounting: everything that enters the home must be exchanged with something that exits. The things that enter or exit the home can be material or immaterial or even anti-material.
Well, I don't really know. I can say that it is good for me, probably it will be good also for you, maybe you can try: it's free, anyway.
Famflows is still in pre-alpha stage: the model and the database schema are fixed but I am still implementing the basic functionalities.
Famflows was started in January as a Java/Swing application and it used Mercurial as the Version Control System. It is still visible in the project space. After some time I decided to rewrite it in C using the GTK+ toolkit.
I hope to release a first usable version during May 2009.
As Famflows is still in heavy development phase the documentation is a bit geared towards developers. In any case I have roughly divided the documentation in three parts: a CommonDocumentation which is of common interest. If you are going to use famflows as end-user or as a developer (or both) you should read this part.
Then there is a (small) UserGuide
Then there is a Hacking documentation, used to know the details of the program.
Any unix/gnu/linux system should be good. FamFlows uses the common autoconf/automake programs to have a customized build
For now famflows does not have an installer. Simply download the
tarball and do the usual: configure, make, make install
procedure.
Famflows depends on the GTK library and Sqlite3 library.
GPL version 3 or above.
