Areba, Thank you for your advise....and yes your right. I will re-evaluate orange and see. Am a software developer who believes in breaking problems into very smaller problems to solve each step by step.....(OOP).... hence why i want to consider a basic start....

Speaking more as an integrator, orange presents a good starting point. Developing a payroll functionality on a HR system gives opportunity for a bigger and receptive audience, and with open source projects, the community is key. Piggyback on the existing and branch out with appropriate feedback and growth plan.

Thanks Peter,
I did evaluate this a while back....and it appeared to be more on the HRM side.
I think I am more inclined to a system that solves Kenya's unique payroll issues as you say.
I will see what response we get by Wednesday..... If none is available....then we get our hands dirty...
PHP, MYSQL......for tools....

Kioko, have a look at http://www.orangehrm.com/, last time i evaluated it for my employer, it was rejected because it didn't take into account the unique payroll habits of Kenyans, but I think its a technically sound project worth your consideration as a contributor :-)

Hi,
I am wondering if there is any "kenyan" open source payroll software out there.....
I am considering working on an Open Source Payroll System for Kenyan market but I do not wish to do if anyone out there has a similar project - I will prefer to support an existing initiative.
If none exists though.....and your interested in using your spare time...for a noble cause.....then drop me an email an email we can chat a way forward.....
Regards
PS: Maybe we need an index for open source software in Kenya....
Regards (again) :-)
