Hello Alvaro,

Hope you're fine. I have put up a description of the Online Billing
Application[0] with some explanatory text and a use case design to
demonstrate what I am planning for the mobile system. I started the
document with an introduction to the project and how it can be used.
After that, I illustrated the features of the mobile client software
with a use case diagram. I thought the diagram is necessary as this
application will be developed on multiple platforms (Android,
BlackBerry and maybe Symbian). This will ensure similar interface and
reuse over the different builds.

While I start building the application, a standard for the XML file
that the transactions will be exported to needs to be defined as well.
Later on, I will need your help in writing modules to extend the DBus
service so that the XML data can be fed to the bus. If scope allows,
we can then start thinking of extending a financial application such
as KMyMoney with a module that imports this data from the bus and
updates respective accounts.

Please tell me what you think about

The online documentation I have started
The contents of an XML file so that it contains enough information
such that it can be easily integrated into a financial application

Once these are settled, I will require some help regarding

How to feed the XML data into the DBus service
How to write modules that imports data from DBus service
