By any chance are there any free checkbook apps that have been written  
for Ruby? Looking to free myself from Gnucash/Grisbi/Quicken but don’t  
quite have the skills/time to make my own app. Has anyone done this and  
want to share?

In case Jamis B. is away from the computer today, I’ll speak up in  
his behalf. He’s led our rb group here in making a fantastic  
ajaxified rails application called BudgetWise. If anyone is  
interested in developing, you can hop on the mailing list at http://  
[lists.urug.org/mailman/listinfo/budgetwise](http://lists.urug.org/mailman/listinfo/budgetwise).

The application is open source, and very nearly complete. I’m sure  
it will be announced soon.

Ooh, nice! Look forward to seeing it (and reading the source).
