Hi, Bob,

Hsing-Foo is right about SME.  It stands for Small to Medium size Enterprise.
The target users of CK-Ledger are organizations that have about 10-100 
employees,
computer users, etc.  They would probably have at least one system admin, and
an accountant that is fairly familiar with computer systems.

Before I go any further.  Let me throw in a standard rider.  The software is
still in beta, so bugs are inevitable.

The immediate plan for CK-Ledger is to complete a payrol module, which
will bring it on par with similar software, such as NOLA.  Bank
reconciliation will be high on the agenda, but I am afraid it won't be added
till several months later.

Cheers,
CK
