What is happening? Why are people taking OR feature discussions off the thread and into a private WhatsApp group? What is the purpose of this other than to fragment the discussion?
I have asked OR to organize a discussion group that can have working sessions. Several people have volunteered to help but nothing is happening. It is very difficult to have a productive discussion over threads in a asynchronous manner - That is not how products are developed. Additionally, it seems that there is a lot of people trying to figure out how to keep their books with the current system. If there is interest in having a live discussion great, if not, then no harm.
As I said above, the goal is to list, organize, prioritize what is needed and then post a summary back to this group as the main thread.
When I got involved there was a bunch of incoherent different threads of accounting needs. OR didn't organize it - I had to take the time of going through it all, organizing and clarifying the needs and from what I gathered from the discussion it was very well received. After serveral more months using OR, I have substantial more feedback and suggestions and would prefer not to redo it in a vacuum. I'm also interested in how others are dealing with the current shortfalls. If we can put together a group of people that understand both STR and Accounting we can shortcut mistakes and miss-guided development. The current approach, in my opinion (and I don't know the history) seems to have some gaps in conceptualization or it seems developed ad-hoc at the least.
Credit cards are big part of the financial reconciliation. From what I understand according to OR themselves, Stripe is the most common Processor used by OR members (by far), yet why was syncing of credits developed for Lynbrook before it was done for Stripe? How do we have things prioritized with transparency?
