Comparison of accounting software

Is this table supposed to be more informative than the 13:00, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

:See for some examples of other pages. The list page normally becomes just a list (prevents people trying to add all sorts of extraneous advertising, background information, descriptions, URLs, etc), and the comparison page normally tells you the URL, what platforms the software runs on, what it costs, who it s aimed at. who it s written by, etc.

:Obviously this page isn t complete yet, but see that category for what it should/will look like. 14:51, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

::Followup on that -- if people just fill in the features column with anything they think relevant, then we can see what sorts of things would warrant their own column/table. I m not an accountant, so haven t proscribed anything yet. Also, the intention is probably to remove everything except name/URL from the list of accounting software, and remove the duplicates (e.g. GnuCash is there at least twice)

::The list page seems to group by intended audience as well as by license, causing a lot of duplicates, whereas most other lists of software are only grouped by Free/freeware/proprietary. 21:56, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

= External link addition =

I added a link to my [http://www.software-evaluation.co.uk Software Evaluation] website because it offers assistance with the comparison of software and it is a free service that requires no registration or sign up. The matrix/spreadsheet concept used on the site can also be used by across all forms of software evaluation so it is a useful free resource that would be of interest to people using this page. Unfortunately someone chose to remove it. Perhaps it could be restored

: It was me who removed the link. The general policy in the wikipedia is to have only few external links that provide significant additional value. Since there are quite a few comparison pages, after adding your page others would ask not without reason for the same. So unless you can show that your page is THE page for software comparison, I don t see why yours in particular should be added. -- 18:11, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
