Conceptmap for ledger software environment for your review

[Andrew Maffei]

Hi.

I'm a newcomer though I've been lurking for awhile. I recently became interested in Martin Blais' ledgerhub idea and made some suggestions for his design doc. As part of that effort I put together a concept map showing my newbie-subjective view of the ledger software world (though its primary focus is the external world for the ledgerhub use case). 

I could use all of your help making sure the map is accurate. If you use different names for things you see in the boxes below or see an assertion that is incorrect, please suggest alternatives. I want to make sure it uses your language, not mine. 

The way to read these types of graphs is to built sentences by choosing any concept (found in the boxes) and follow the arrow to the next box while inserting the prepositional phrase found on the line connected line. For example "Microsoft Money creates files in OFX format".

Thanks.

Apologies. Looks like pasted graphic may not have worked. I've attached it here instead

This is very nice Andrew!

Do you need to distinguish between "project" and "software"? It is very accurate, but that level of detail may not be required for general use.

good point Harshad. Having both there was not feeling quite right to me either. I’ll revise this on the next version.

Agreed, very nice!

Something like this, or simpler, is a really great introduction/overview
to the *ledger world.

Ledger and hledger also convert CSV files. Needs more arrows.

Adding ledger-autosync would complicate this further but would really
help reinforce the whole structure with MOAR ARROWS. :)

Thanks for the comments Simon. I’m thinking of creating a sub map, one level down, showing details of a broader concept “CSV to Ledger Converters” at the top level. Hopefully this will reduce clutter of adding ledger and hledger conversion functionality. I’ll learn more about ledger-autosync and see if I can squeeze that concept in too.
