for aqbanking: two aspects to consider 1) the module does not work for me - i
am still testing, but it seems in kmymoney most things are not that trivial to
achieve. Alone to get the aqbanking running was not easy. However, it runs now,
but did not succeed so far to establish a connection. 2) availablity of HBCI -
sadly most of my banks do not provide a HBCI interface (anymore). Many go to
PST2 (or so) which requires getting a license and registration and i understood
that as nothing for end users but for commercial software product makers.

for woob: starting via the command line did not bring up any usable message
relating to woob. woob is installed and the woob bank module runs. So this
should be enough for kmymoney to detect this module (if it searches for it,
which is how the comments sounded). However, there is no module in the
configuration (settings dialogue) or so. Also mapping an account to a
datasource does not give woob as an option. I wanted to try the woob on a
ubuntu installation, but same there. woob is installed, the banking module
works, but it does not show up anywhere in kmymoney. 

I am not specifically looking for woob, but a method to import data from all my
online banks into kmymoney to avoid typing in the transactions. This is not
really working .... at least for european banks and sadly the description is
almost non existant. kbanking, aqbanking, woob ...
