I would like to make a suggestion to make a SQLLEDGER appliance (http://www.sql-ledger.com/) to put on the website.

 
Here is a blueprint so the rest of the community can give their 2 cents?

And would probably make a great appliance. I think that TKL LAPP appliance would make a good base for it.

From my very brief glance at the documentation it should be really easy to create a patch for. Should only need the install perl file. The additional extras (like Latex and PDF creation) would be nice too.

Do you have the experience to build an turnkey appliance, and are you interested building it?

Use the TKL LAPP ISO and use this script: http://pastebin.com/Gq49NzTi

Hopefully TKL will recorgize this as a far better ERP solution than currently available on TKL.

I have updated the Appliance Candidate entry a little and created a new SQL-Ledger Whiteboard/

Bottom line is though, at this point unless you want to work on developing a TKLDev based appliance build I'm not sure when it will make it's way into the Library. As you can see on the Appliance Candidate page there are HEAPS of great suggestions for new appliances...
