Wish I was in a position to help with that.
I've ordered a book on basic accounting 
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=zg6f71r9Qw&isbn=0070375933&itm=1
 as I've always been primarily involved with production/sales fields in 
the past, and I'm not particularly familiar with the accounting environment.
I'm involved with basic bash at the moment, with plans for C and then 
either Python or Ruby after that.
I thought that I would begin by getting involved on the doc side of 
things, and sgml/xml seem to be the approved mediums, but I've been 
looking at Xhtml so as to have a greater degree of availability for 
websites, as well as still retaining the xml toolbox for translation 
into other mediums.
What are everybodies views here of the situation?
Regards,

David.
