<title>What is &kappname;?</title>

users of open source operating systems to keep careful track of their personal
finances by providing a broad array of financial features and tools.

The principal goals of the project are:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<formalpara><title>Feature Parity</title>

<sect1 id="what-kmymoney-is-not">
<title>What &kappname; is not</title>
<para>
As a personal finance manager, &kappname; is not intended to scale to the
needs of an average business. However, it would be possible to create client
/ supplier / document features through plugins.
</para>
<para>
&kappname; is not simply a clone of the commercially-available personal
finance programs. Although many of the features present in &kappname; can be
found in other similar applications, &kappname; strives to present an
individual and unique view of your finances.
