Daniel,

Some of this you can already do in GnuCash.   If you expect to spend
$1000 on December 1st, 2009, then just enter that transaction NOW with a
date in the future.

> structures such as bi-weekly or bi-monthly schedules.

> Just a topic for discussion between the gnucash users: how badly would you
