Hello All,

Just a quick update on what has been going on with Simple Invoices development recently.

We've changed the development mailing list by moving all code and issue related messages to their own group which can be found at tracker.simpleinvoices.org. If you would like to receive these messages then please sign up to this new group. We've made this change so that there is less 'noise' in the developer mailing list. The main developer discussion will be staying on Posterous for the time being.

There is a discussion about the library used to generate PDFs going on in an issue thread on Google Code. We are thinking about maybe moving to a new library to speed up PDF generation and make it more reliable and flexible. If you have any suggestions of libraries that we should consider or want to join in the discussion please post your comments here: http://code.google.com/p/simpleinvoices/issues/detail?id=169

A big thanks goes out to all those that have contributed to the project over the last few weeks. A few of those that have made notable contributions (technical or non-technical) are below:

• Raffael Luthiger
• Seth Lauzon
• ananthisanthi (forum)

I will try to get these updates out every few weeks in the future.

Thanks for reading,

Matt

Hello All,

For those of you that don't know me I am Matt West, one of the developers on SimpleInvoices. I have been asked to take care of this project for the next few months and I'm pretty excited about working with all the developers (and users) to help keep Simple Invoices rocking.

I am currently trying to get a feel for how many people are interested in working on Simple Invoices and so it would be really great if you could head over to the developer discuss group and introduce yourself (if you haven't already). Please feel free to post any ideas that you might have over on the dev group too.

The developer group can be found at: http://dev.simpleinvoices.org

If you have any questions you can reach me on twitter (@MattAntWest).

Hi Guys,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of Simple Invoices for Windows. This is the simplest way to get Simple Invoices running locally on a Windows PC. Just download, unzip, double click SimpleInvoices.exe and thats it.

Nothing to install - it just works from where ever you unzip it - so can run from usb etc.. fine

Thanks so much to John from http://teammc.cc/ for creating this and agreeing to maintain it - so future releases of Simple Invoices will be available as the normal webapp and for windows.
