Dear Humberto,


Just a few words to say that I'm entirely with you on that point. I think
the same, the problem is not the techno (webkit, RML, Pentaho,
whatever...). The problem is how do we compute !

This is more on that point that I'm arguing (and Frédéric too). I'm sorry
if that was not clear. We don't care about webkit or not, doesn't matter.
We do car about how we computed our report in our webkit report. This is :
how do we compute the perdiod sum, the balance, the opening entries, etc...

This is where our knowledge have value for us ! This is what we are not
agree on rebuilding something else.

So I think we're perfectly in-line here ! Let's build a way to compute
stuff and let people chose a renderer ! Let me know what we can do.

Regards,

Joël
