[Kde-finance-apps] help on a new application

[santosh kumar]

I am comfortable with c/c++ ,python and of late have started using qt
(actually have just worked through some demo interfaces).I haven't
touched databases for 4 years though.

 I am in contact with Mukesh, infact we are great friends.

ofcourse , I understand ALKIMIA
and surely as per your instruction ,our effort would be part of it's repository.

KMyMoney (I didn't knew about it)so I need to explore it for next few days.
the perl script for the stocks information seems great.

thank you alvaro, you seem to be a very enthusiastic guy.

it would be great to work with you.
