[lug] Personal Financial Software?

[Ben Luey]

Mind you, I haven't done this, but you can write your own reports for
gnucash in Scheme and I'm under the impression that you have a lot of
power / flexiblity with these reports. Maybe writing some reports for
gnucash would give you the features you are looking for (also, Gnucash's
reports output html internally, which should be web publishing easier).
