It's in gnucash-user

And budget support.
Also, what would happen if the engine and 
functionality was separated from the GUI?
Then provide good docs and an api for building a 
frontend using a web page, KDE, Gnome2,
OS X, ... Secondly why not provide similar support 
for extensions like Mozilla has, that can
be easily installed by the user? I would be more 
open to reading docs and using an
API to "scratch my itches", compared to 
downloading the gnucash source and studying it
for a while to know how my first attempt at a 
module is going to affect everything else
before I can contribute. It seems very daunting 
and time consuming. I have been reading
the devel lists for a week now and threads gone 
and on and on. Is there a "benevolent
dictator/leader" or a specific milestone map or 
are the developers just doing what seems
best to each of themselves?

Sincerely,
Brian
