### Evaluation of codebase & development
The framework [wnframework](https://github.com/webnotes/wnframework) is used and seemingly developed in parallel.
The python code does not follow the guidelines in [PEP8](http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/).
#### Database
wnframework contains a database model abstraction which is used in some places, though there are > 2000 places where raw SQL is composed using python's `'foo %' % ('bar')` string formatting. I have managed to cause some minor SQL injections, I have not yet found any places where I can cause significant damage / data loss.
Not using a database abstraction model such as SQLAlchemy reduces storage portability and adds security overhead to ensure that no malicious queries can be executed.
In those places I have seen, no input sanitation was performed, although they were only SELECT queries. I suspect that you could alter database contents by modifiying a SELECT query, but I have not managed to do so myself.

Can each of these reports be generated, confined to a specific temporarily
restricted asset type?
**It does not seem like it***. There are 'Cost Centers', but they do not seem to be usable in fund accounting.

FIXME: This is assessment of what the API for manipulating the accounting
data does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.
See below.
### Evaluation of the [[Storage API|UseCases/StorageAPI]]
FIXME: This is assessment of what the API for storing the accounting data
does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.
It is a web application using JavaScript to communicate with the backend, so there is an API endpoint for everything you'll ever see in the application.

- Is the accounting API separate from the ERP stuff? Kind of, it's in its own section, but it's still the same application, and I suspect you'll get information about links from any accounting-related models to any of the erp-related models
