Please be aware, that ERP/GnuCash etc. != NPO management software. Managing
regular memberships or similar things is not the goal the software you have
mentioned in your mails.
A membership is a yearly fee, not a product. And if somebody has to add the
"membership product" to all of the members yearly, it isn't IMHO the
target
audience - just to name an example.
Understood that you've been looking for a while for a workable solution.
However, this is the first that most of us have heard about the search,
and already you have had some good advice[1]. It also comes out that
you don't feel there is expertise or time in the EMEA NPO group to do
any needed coding. Perhaps this is a problem that can be solved with
help from the larger Fedora community? Before you decide you have to go
with a closed-source solution, recommend that you take the problem to
the greater Fedora community (via blog posts, mailing lists, IRC, etc.).
