There's a projects.html file in the doc/ directory.  Have a look and
see if anything there looks interesting to you.

You can already do that.  The 'cleared' state of a check has 3
possible states: 'n' (not cleared or reconciled), 'c' (cleared, not
reconciled) and 'r' (reconciled).  You can toggle between 'n' and 'c'
in the register window, but you need to use the Reconcile dialog to
get a check into the 'r' state.

To find un-cleared checks, click the "Find" button, select the
checking account in the Account tab, then go to the "Cleared" tab and
select "Not cleared."  Then click OK and you should get a Search
Results register showing your uncleared checks.

This falls under the larger blanket of "Recurring transactions" and
Rob Browning has it on his to-do list.
