Hi everyone. Thanks for the great software Tom!

I was wondering how easy it would be to change the default currency
(to dollars or some such). I see that hours are hard-coded throughout
the app. Perhaps I can just do a s/hours/dollars/g on the entire
source and see what happens? Perhaps it would be best to refactor the
code to allow the currency to change in the admin settings. I see that
this is possible for groups.

Ultimately, I would like to extend the app to allow investment and
interest (+ much more). If this is a relatively standard Rails app, I
suppose my best bet is to learn Ruby and Rails and dive in. I just
installed on heroku and I'm experimenting.

Also, does both the current master and edge branches implement
OpenTransact?

Paul,
One of the things I've been meaning to do, but haven't had the time is to redo the UI to use the new internationalization features - which inherently allows customization of certain words or language.

yes, making the default currency an admin setting is probably the
right way to go. (alternatively, we could have implemented the
default currency as associated with just another group and that would
have made the code more elegant)

both master and branch have the opentransact code in it. the one
thing that is missing in the opentransact implementation is friendly
urls for multiple currencies.

on #oscurrency on freenode if you run into problems. thanks for
checking out oscurrency.

hey rich, let's add that i18n support!

cheers,
tom
