No, it's the support for coordinated development.  I don't think I'll 
have a problem writing a spreadsheet to handle all of Canada, but 
there's no way I could ever write one to support all fifty US states. 
My goal is complete, worldwide coverage.  That's going to take a lot of 
developers.

I think after posting my announcement on a few computer consultant 
lists, I'm not going to have much trouble getting help.  The idea of 
attracting other sourceforge members directly on sourceforge simply 
never occurred to me.

I'm serious about what I said, about wreaking revenge against Intuit for 
ripping off small businesses.  I just looked up Intuit's tax table 
"service" so I could link it from the press release I'm already 
composing, and it's a HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE DOLLARS A YEAR!

And Intuit has the gall to discuss the contributions its tax table 
service makes to the company bottom line in its annual report.

Discovering Intuit's press release about it greatly increased my 
determination to put those m*****f*****s out of business.  Gnucash 
represents our greatest hope of achieving that goal, but it's not going 
to be able to do that without being able to calculate withholding. 
Launching my spreadsheet as a free software project is my small 
contribution towards solving that problem.

Pardon me, I have smoke coming out of my ears.  I need to go fetch a 
fire extinguisher.
