Joining the TurboCASH Project
philipdc
sinister involved, no fee or catch to the process.
TurboCASH User Registration
http://www.turbocash.nl/register/registerdll.dll
The purpose of registering is for us to make email contact with the
users. Our experience has shown that without some prompting along,
users find it difficult to take up the technology on their own. Also we
have an obligation to the tax authorities in each country to ensure
that we provide a compliant system. We want to warn users if we have
any short commings in certain countries or industries. We also want to
introduce them to the support community that is available to them.
Once we have introduced them to the system, they are welcome to delist.
You shouldn't be involved in the TurboCASH project if you do not
useTurboCASH yourself. The very least is that you should run your
personal books on TurboCASH. However we woudl encourage evryone have at
least something to sell, some web business even if its "on the side".
You will be amazed how simple it is to make revenue on the Internet.
Everyone involved with the TurboCASH project in any capacity should
regiser here. You will receive between 2 and 12 emails per year on this
list.
---------------------------------------------
Anyone can USE TurboCASH, but for more advanced users there are some
higher levels of communication required.
Developer - programmer who codes the program and plugins
Accountant - uses TurboCASH to produce tax compliant books
Consultant - integrates, supports and tests TurboCASH with
Operating Systems and Networks
Partner - provides hardware, and compatible software
Territory Agent - promotes TurboCASH in a given territory,
geographic or demographic
Dealer - people who stock copies of TurboCASH
products for resale
Each of these has a separate sign up, I know its a pain in the ass but
you need to sign up at all of these. Leave any of them out and you will
be "less" connected to what is going on in this project:
The Sourceforge project
http://www.sourceforge.net.projects/projects/turbocash
Start here. This is the worlds leading Open Source repository. It is
the technical home of TurboCASH. This is wher you find all our
downlaods
Skype
http://www.skype.com
This is a VOIP client and instant messenger. By default it has become
the standard we use for communications on the project. Do not be
surprised if you find contacting us by telephone difficult. You too
will find that, in a short time of using our communitcations, you will
only want to receive Skype calls and group email.
Getting published on our Web sites
http://www.turbocash.nl/consults/afr/DLLConsultants.dll
We have really clear rules about support and development. It is clearly
stated to the users that TurboCASH is Free as in Freedom not as in Free
lunch. Some of the users struggle with this concept, but the vast
majority understand that they need to pay for consutling services and
the developement is expensive. This makes for a really large market for
services around TurboCASH. To list yourself on our site, sgin up here.
Remeber that as a developer, consultant or accountant you represent the
TurboCASH project. We expect you to be honest, truthful and diligent
when dealing with the users. We will ban anyone from the project who
does not honor this.

Forums
http://www.turbocashuk.com/Forums/
This is a user forum. It gives the users a chance to interact with us
and to try to get free support for the program. Your voluntary services
here are appreciated. You can also post your requests on this site and
you can get answers on problems that you have. Remember that everyone
that answers you here is doing so an unpaid, voluntary basis. If you
want "Customer Service" you need either to take out a support contract
with one of consultants or purchase a support ticket. These guys are
coin operated. Watch them light up when you put money in. If you are
new to consulting in the TurboCASH world this is a good place to tout
for business. The fastest way to learn the program is to do this pro
bono conulting. You will be helping soemone and learning the program.
Developer Mailing list
http://groups.google.com/group/TurboCASH
This is for people interested in the technical aspects of the TurboCASH
project. It is aimed at developers, but has a wider scope than that.
You can choose to receive all emails, filtered, summarised or have no
email and use it as a web client.
TurboCASHZone
http://groups.google.com/group/TurboCASHZone
This Groups is for Accountants and Consultants. It covers similar
topics to the forum but offers a less formal environment.
Turbocash Shop
http://www.turbocashtraining.co.za/os
We have a shop set up around TurboCASH and OSCommerce. This makes it
much easier for Territory Agents get up and running. The logistics of
ordering, paying and delivery is sorted out in advance. It also has an
affiliate program for you to make revenue from your cleints making
purchases on the TurboCASH shop.
TurboCASH Documentation
https://mirror1.cvsdude.com/trac/techdocs/turbocash
We regard the TurboCASH Documentation system as as big a project as
TurboCASH itself. We have to make TurboCASH run in every market and
every language for which there is a demand. This requires a strong
documentation set, managed by a revision control system. This is a
really interesting site for non programmers, who nevertheless
interested in taking on a technical task.
