FreeCoins seems to have one primary driver behind it and the forum there apparently has a gnucash developer that's interested in integration but it does seem that development is slow - I'm going to presume that you saw this forum note but just in case you didn't... http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php? thread_id=7315982&forum_id=1089 Seems like you might get something usable eventually, the timing of course isn't clear.
