Which is why I went the other way - it's more of a quick route to find 
out what's going on, instead of looking through many emails (now 240) - 
you can do illegal stuff with it, just as you can make declarations 
within an email that break the rules.

I think when it comes to keeping track of numbers a computer will work 
well, as long as it doesn't do any (non-trivial) updating without human 
input.

I could possibly get it to email a balance sheet each evening, saying 
who had what and what transactions had happened that day. Then people 
could scrutinise and if someone had entered something wrong, we correct 
it by hand.

Otherwise as you say there's a lot of book keeping to do.
