Wiaflos Accounting project is an attempt to create a multi-platform server-client based accounting system.
The goal is to have a central accounting engine which can either run on a dedicated server or on the same PC as the client interface. The accounting engine will provide a full SOAP API for easy writing of GUI/Web interfaces or tieing into inhouse systems. Seeing as the accounting engine is written in Perl and makes use of a database abstraction layer, the engine should run on nearly any operating system and use nearly any database system supported by Perl and the target OS.
We want this package to be of equal use to the one-man-show as a full accounting package running on a single PC aswell as to large multi-national corporate entities with dedicated accounting servers using the package as a fast stable accounting function, solution or full package.
Main features:
Platform independant
- Wiaflos Accountings core and engine is written in Perl. Perl is an interpreted programming language capable of running on many different platforms including Unix/Linux, Mac, Windows, BSD and many more.
Database independent
- Wiaflos Accountings database interface utilizes the Perl DBI module. This module allows Wiaflos Accounting to access multiple database types transparently, allowing you to utilize the database of your choice, be it MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, Informix, Sybase or ODBC (or basically anything else).
Folding database transactions
- All modules use database transactions to ensure that if an error occurs everything is rolled back to a safe state. When different modules are integrated to provide functionality like invoicing and purchasing, there are sometimes quite a number of transactions involved which both update, insert and query data. The Wiaflos Accounting database engine automatically merges all transactions during a specific operation into one, this ensures a clean rollback should anything go wrong.
SOAP API (WebServices)
- The interface to Wiaflos Accounting is based on SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). The SOAP protocol is a critical communication protocol on the Internet due in large part to the fact that it has become native to so many development platforms, this allows Wiaflos Accounting the maximum benefit of integration and interpolation with other software packages. The SOAP API supports communication over HTTP and HTTPS and includes a full user-based access control system, allowing only certain users access to certain API functions.
Persistent sessions
- Not only does Wiaflos Accounting support SOAP, but it supports persistent SOAP sessions. Authentication is only required once, after that a session cookie is handed to the client application which can then be used in future function calls to authenticate.
Enhancements:
- This version includes support for statements and "balance brought forward" when requesting GL entries.
- Some bugfixes and feature enhancements were made.

Essential Management provides a project management system for organizing and writing technical documents.

Essential Management is a multi-user project management system for managing intricate and complex information. Its initial purpose was to allow software development teams to create, maintain, track, and store project requirements on a multi-project basis in a multi-user environment. It has now become more abstract in the type of data it can maintain, allowing the easy addition of new data models and other expansions. Information can be stored in any of several database management systems, and can take advantage of a networked DBMS.

The first and most important feature of the application is that data is stored in a central data repository managed by some database management server; initially PostgreSQL fills this role, but support for others are growing. The repository is fully searchable. An alternative data storage format exists in the form of a locally maintained XML file if the user wishes to use it.

One of the key features Essential Management was designed around is the ability to define and maintain relationships between requirements. Using the software requirement model as an example, our application allows users to define projects; each project is composed of zero or more root requirements, which are typically business level requirements. Each business requirement has zero or more sub-requirements, which either refine the parent business requirement or dive into the functional requirements which allow the business requirement to be achieved. This tree continues to branch and grow deeper until the most basic level that the user wishes to define is reached.

In addition the relationship between parent and child requirements, relationships can be defined between requirements not in the same branch. These relationships may have any meaning the user wishes to define and can be unidirectional or bi-directional.

Essential Management implements the concept of user level permissions, which provides a small measure of security for the projects and their requirements. Additionally, creation of and changes to requirements can be traced to the user who initiated the action.

Finally, the application provides a means to track changes made to requirements during their lifetime so it is possible to determine when a change was made, what information was changed and who edited the requirement.
