<p>Derek Neighbors (derek) noted that there were three different 
tracks in the GNUe project - <quote who="Derek Neighbors">1. The Tools 
(this is primary focus currently) - 2. GNUe Small Business (secondary 
focus) - 3. GNUe Proper (further down road)</quote>. He explained 
<quote who="Derek Neighbors">The Tools are designer, forms, reports, 
navigator, etc etc etc i.e. the application framework. GNUe Small 
Business is accounting, inventory, etc that is designed as Keep It Simple 
Stupid (KISS) that is geared towards immediate solutions for people 
doing the work - non modular and lumped together quickly. GNUe Proper 
is the full blown ERP (SAP type equivalent) that will be highly modular 
and flexible and thoroughly designed</quote>. There were already some 
proposals for the proper GNUe packages, notably accounting, but these 
were <quote who="Derek Neighbors">more of a general accountants view 
of how things might look -  rather than an implementation path</quote>.</p>
