Due to problems with the original design skybill has been totally rewritten.

The new design (more event based now) makes is a lot easier to extend, it features a module/plugin system.

This current version includes the minimum modules to run a biller.

It does NO authentication of any kind. It has no database either. It allows everyone to connect.
