I have been evaluating Dolibarr recently. (GPL3) Its PHP and as I believed was actually distributed by the French Gov to small business in that country.  Its install easily and not as heavy as SQL ledger/ledgerSMB.  It does invoicing. 

The user interface may seem a bit unusual to some.

www.dolibarr.org.

If anyone else is using it or has some experience I would like your comment please.

If I have time, I would like to "Australianise" it further.

Cheers

Daniel.

I've been tinkering with gnucash, and the main limitation is that it doesn't support multiuser access.

Can anyone recommend an alternative open source accounting package with similar features (needs to support invoicing).
 
Depending on target users, I would suggest ledger. Uses text files, so can implement multiuser access, complete with audit trail, with git.
 
Easy to export from gnucash to ledger (at least it was when I did it).
 
Has a number of independent clients written in different languages.
 
Not sure about invoices, that is a feature I haven't needed.
 
The link in the package description seems to be broken, try this one instead:
