Wow, no replies!?
Ok, let try this. Who wants to earn some coin!
Q: How much would it cost to fix this code and get it running on PHP v5.4:

There's also these:
http://www.cxss.org.uk/drupal51/node/18
of which the easiest solution with support (in particular for arranging people, rather than just the tech) is:
http://www.cxss.org.uk/drupal51/?q=node/10
and fees to help with that: http://www.letslinkuk.net/practice/online.htm
or self hosting that to save some cash. The advantage of that system is that there's someone there to help set it up, host it (if need be) and be there to help if it's needed.
The disadvantage is that unlike Cyclos it's extremely basic. I'm assured that records can be exported from that system at at later date if needed.

Last time I looked at LETs accounting systems was a couple of years ago now. What's changed since?
Ideally we're looking for a way for members to go online, check their balance and pay and be paid easily. I shouldn't need to go into too much detail as to why the idea is to use this rather than Bitcoin or cash other than to say that there is some firewalling to the market this way.
Last I looked we were going to use Ripple but it was very different back then and I don't want that much ease of connectivity to other markets.
So what I'm looking for is decentralised accounting.
Would this be OpenTransactions? Is it stable yet? (edit, update: No, not ready according to the git site) Is it (very) easy to use for old people? How would we handle people who don't really use computers? If so, where would be best to host it? I could pay for a low end server and do it but I'd rather use someone else if possible.
As an alternative, in a simple way Ripple could be used for this couldn't it? Let's say I was treasurer, then everyone would have to trust me with their currency. The next problem would be that I can't change my password and I can't share the job. So I think Ripple is no good (yet?).
Any solution has to be totally ready as an alternative, in a simple way Ripple could be used for this couldn't it? Let's say I was treasurer, then everyone would have to trust me with their currency. The next problem would be that I can't change my password and I can't share the job. So I think Ripple is no good (yet?). And with a slick interface. There can't be any java interface shernanagans for the users.
What about more established online accounting systems? The most important thing is that any data can be exported and migrated to any new system that comes out down the line. Could a group edited Google spreadsheet actually do this since we have such a simple system?
At the moment they're using one guy who makes a note of everything manually on the phone.
edit:
Just found Cyclos... seems like the best yet?
There's also https://www.community-exchange.org/ but it looks centralised and not making use of cryptography as much as Cyclos.
